Why high temperature combustion of landfill gas?
Due to the accumulation of knowledge and the tightening of environmental law, the landfill technology has increasingly become concerned with the management of trace compounds in landfill gas. With landfill gas, contamination is through sulphur, chlorine, fluorine, halogenated hydrocarbons and heavy metals. Other trace elements such as volatile organic compounds (VOC), impose environmental ...

TOC Analysis for Standard Methods 5310B: High-Temperature Combustion Method
Introduction Total Organic Carbon (TOC) is a rapid method that analyzes for organic carbon and expresses the result as the amount of carbon found. It is a non-specific method unable to distinguish between various organic species and only indicates that organic carbon compounds are present. Organic carbon analyzers operate by the determination of the amount of total carbon present in a sample ...

Biochar: forgotten agricultural nostrum
What is biochar? The new multifunctional products are in good request nowadays. One of such innovations is Biochar. This type of charcoal is manufactured using the low-temperature continuous pyrolysis equipment. The raw material for the recycling process is biomass (agricultural and other biological waste). Biochar origins (Terra Preta) Spain сonquistadors were the first who noticed ...

Heating Value
The lower heating value (LHV) or higher heating value (HHV) of a gas is an important consideration when selecting a gas engine or CHP plant. Gas engines efficiency is typically quoted based upon the LHV of the gas. Whenever a hydrocarbon fuel is burned one product of combustion is water. The quantity of water produced is dependent upon the amount of hydrogen in the fuel. Due to high combustion ...

Biomass Gasification vs. Pyrolysis: What Sets These Two Technologies Apart?
When exploring renewable energy solutions and waste-to-energy technologies, two methods often emerge in discussions: biomass gasification and pyrolysis. While both processes involve the conversion of organic materials into valuable energy, they operate on different principles and produce distinct outcomes. Understanding the differences between biomass gasification and pyrolysis is crucial for ...

Reasons To Acquire A New Oil Sludge Pyrolysis Plant
If you are liable for processing oil sludge, you may have to have a more technical machine to keep up with production levels. Sludge is simply a vicious kind of material that has both liquid and solid components mixed together. In the mix, you will additionally have oil in case you are processing sludge that comes from a refinery as well as other industries where oil is commonly used. You could ...

The Greening of Carbon Fibre
Carbon fiber is a material that has, and will continue to revolutionize the products we use every day by making them stronger, lighter and more durable. Experts estimate that the specialty material is twice as stiff as steel and five times stronger, per unit of weight. It is made from organic polymers which consist of long strings of molecules held together by carbon atoms. The manufacturing ...

CHP efficiency for biogas
Combined heat and power plant efficiency is a function of the conversion efficiency of the energy in the fuel gas to useful energy in the form of electricity and heat. A combined heat and power (CHP) plant is typically a reciprocating gas engine that uses the energy in the gas to drive a crank shaft. The crank shaft turns an alternator to produce electricity. Heat is released during the gas ...
