One of the main activities of PROCES is laboratory testing of the digesting process.
In the PROCES labs are 6 digesters of 2 litres (KV-01xx), and 6 digesters of 20 litres (KV-02xx).
The KV-01 digesters are used for "quick and dirty" testing. Varify if a potential feed is valueable.
The KV-02 digesters are used for longer term testing; at least 4 weeks lasting.
These tests are giving a view in the output of the digester, and the events happening during the digesting process.

Sometimes old equipment is good enough !!.
