Fossil Fuels Characterization
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), gas sorption analysis or DSC enable our customers to assess the composition, reactivity, combustion and sorption properties of coals or shales.
Get essential properties of fossil fuels used in power generation processes
The thermal properties and composition of fossil fuels play a key role in controlling industrial power generation processes. Our solutions meet the characterization needs of these fuels.
-
Coal composition
You can use a simple TGA test procedure to get information about coal composition. One single measurement gives its moisture, volatile matter, fixed carbon, and ash content. All are important coal quality specifications.
-
Coal combustion
The most obvious use of coal is heat production in a boiler by high temperature combustion. You can use DSC under air for information about the combustion steps, their temperature ranges and the heat released.
-
Oil & gas shale
Understanding gas shale formation and extraction benefit from gas sorption characterization. You can test oil shale using STA to better understand their use in energy production processes.
