Thermal Conversion

The most widely researched and applied thermal conversion processes for biomass include: combustion, gasification and pyrolysis. The combustion properties of the feedstock is critical to effective design of a thermal conversion process for biomass. CENNATEK can test the most important combustion properties of biomass in accordance with various ASTM and ISO standards providing a complete picture of the fuel quality.
