What is ISO 17827-1 - Determination of particle size distribution about?
Solid biofuels are derived from non-fossil, and organic materials which includes plant biomass, municipal waste, and animal waste which can be used to produce energy for heating, electricity generation or cooking.
ISO 17827-1 specifies a method for the determination of the size distribution of particulate biofuels by the horizontally oscillating screen method. It applies to particulate uncompressed fuels with a nominal top size of 3,15 mm, and above, e.g. wood chips, hog fuel, olive stones, etc. The method is intended to characterize material up to a particle size class of P63. For larger P-classes, the characterization is mainly done by hand sorting.
Who is ISO 17827-1 - Determination of particle size distribution for?
ISO 17827-1 for determination of particle size distribution for uncompressed biofuels is useful for:
- Transport sector
- Agricultural sector
- Power plants
Why should you use ISO 17827-1 - Determination of particle size distribution?
It is essential to have access to reliable methods to determine the size distribution of particles in biofuels to allow sustainable use of these fuels. ISO 17827-1 provides you with quality guidelines which define the characteristics, and requirements to determine particle size distribution for uncompressed fuels.
