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.
ISO 17827-1 for determination of particle size distribution for uncompressed biofuels is useful for:
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.
