Waste materials characterization
Thermal analysis of waste using thermogravimetry and evolved gas analysis gives access to parameters such as composition, combustion behavior, or useful data for studying recycling processes.
Get valuable data to study their recycling processes
If you’re involved in the processing of waste, we have some solutions for you.
They concern thermal processes for waste recycling or transformation into fuel or chemicals.

Waste plastics
TGA and evolved gas analysis help you with the characterization of waste plastic for the production of fuel or chemicals. They provide: – the temperature range, the steps of waste pyrolysis or combustion, – the residual solid content, – the identification of evolved gases.

Sewage sludge
Pyrolysis, combustion or gasification of sewage sludge help reduce waste volume. TGA and STA are appropriate methods to study these processes. They can determine decomposition temperatures, reaction steps, and kinetic models.
