PHYSICO-CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF BIOFUELS

As the demand for low-carbon energy sources grows, the use of alternative fuels such as refuse, biomass, wood pellets and wood chips is becoming more widespread. Their sourcing generates the same needs for quality, reliability and sustainability as exist in traditional energy markets.

SGS facilitates international trade by providing inspection and control services that confirm the quality and quantity of wood chips, sawdust, wood pellets, fuel briquettes, and other solid biomass and fuels.
SGS' international team of experts provides services for physico-chemical analysis of  biofuels to help you characterize this innovative energy source. Testing is carried out in European accredited SGS laboratories according to EN ISO, ISO. The standard list of tests for fuel pellets (from peat, wood, agricultural waste: corn waste, straw, cereal production waste, sunflower husks, chicken manure, etc.) are as follows:
•    Moisture, Ash, Volatile matter, Gross / NET Calorific value;
•    Chlorine; Sulphur; Nitrogen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen;
•    Ash Fusion Temperatures (reducing and/or oxidizing atmosphere), °C;
•    Trace Elements, mg/kg (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Hg, Ni, Zn)
•    Determination of fines content of pellets (<3.15mm);
•    Bulk Density, kg/m3;
•    Mechanical Durability;
•    Size of pellets (diameter / length), mm.
