Fuel Sampling, Certification, and Analysis
Sampling of solid fuels and combustion residues allows for an independent assessment of key properties, particularly calorific value and ash content. These parameters are fundamental for invoicing fuel purchases, managing the disposal of combustion residues, and assessing CO2 emissions. Regular monitoring of these parameters is essential for maintaining the economic efficiency of combustion operations.
Independent assessment begins with the collection of a representative sample of fuel or combustion residues. We offer certification of samplers, along with their evaluation, and can recommend corrective actions, if necessary, to ensure reliable sampling. In cases of suspected irregularities in sampling, we also provide physical collection and sampling using the quartering method, including sample preparation (crushing, grinding) to verify the quality of the sampling. If needed, we can perform comparative sampling on a reference test unit.
The collected samples are analysed in our accredited testing laboratory in Most, and we carry out an evaluation that can also be utilised for optimising the operation of emission sources.
We offer our customers:
- Certification of automatic fuel samplers, with samples analysed and evaluated in our accredited Testing Laboratory in Most
- Maintenance planning for automatic fuel samplers
- Preparation and revision of fuel sampling methodology
- Comprehensive quality control of fuel deliveries
- Ongoing collection and evaluation of critical data that significantly influence the values in greenhouse gas emission reports, including information on fuel quality, solid combustion residues, and their trends over time
