We provide sample preparation and analysis of solid mineral fuels, solid biofuels and liquid fuels in order to determine quality, properties and composition.
Chemical analysis
Analysis of fuels and fuel residues
Get documented fuel and residue analysis that supports fuel purchasers and plant operators in assessing composition and relevant properties.
Analysis of fuels and residues supports fuel purchasers, sellers, producers and plant operators that need documented data on fuels and residues. The need typically arises when fuel quality must be matched to plant requirements, when delivered consignments need follow-up, or when residues must be characterised for further assessment.
Documented data for fuels and residues
The service covers testing and chemical analysis of solid and liquid fuels, barbecue coal, barbecue coal briquettes and residues from combustion or gasification. The results provide a documented basis for evaluating selected fuel and residue properties.
Challenges
When fuel quality or residue properties are unclear, purchasing follow-up, plant assessment and material comparison become difficult.
Fuel purchasers lack documented basis for comparison
When fuel consignments are not documented against defined parameters, it becomes difficult to compare quality with agreed specifications. This can delay follow-up with suppliers, create uncertainty about the characteristics of delivered fuel and lead to incorrect settlement of the raw material.
Plant operators cannot assess fuel behaviour
When the fuel's properties, such as composition and ash behaviour, are unclear, it becomes difficult to assess how the fuel will perform under plant-specific conditions. This can complicate evaluations of operations, fuel selection and in extreme cases result in operational downtime or damage to equipment.
Producers and sellers lack documented product data
When fuel or barbecue coal products are not characterised through testing, it becomes difficult to document composition and performance characteristics. This can limit the ability to present consistent product data across customers and markets.
Residue handling lacks documented properties
When combustion or gasification residues are not characterised, it becomes difficult to assess properties such as unburned material and carbon content. This can clarify poor utilization of the fuel (residual energy) and delay decisions related to further handling and evaluation.
