Design and Performance of the KSC Biomass Production Chamber
Annotation ability available
Sector:
Language:
English
Abstract
An atmospherically sealed chamber has been constructed for the purpose of studying gas, liquid, and microbial contaminants produced by growing food crops. This chamber is designed to provide suitable biomass for evaluation of quality, yield, volume, and energy for different environments and nutrient delivery systems.
