The flow loop is one of only a handful of its kind available for industry research, development and testing and will play a central role in an ongoing SwRI project to reduce methane emissions.

This approach has not been implemented or explored in flow loops at other institutions.” You can learn more about the molten salt test loop in the following video form INL.

“The instrumentation and sensor testing in flow loop environment is one-of-a-kind,” said Ruchi Gakhar, a lead scientist for INL’s Advanced Technology of Molten Salts program.
