What is ISO 23343‑1 about?
ISO 23343‑1 is the first part of a series of documents on solid biofuels. ISO 23343‑1 specifies a method for the determination of water sorption in a laboratory setting and provides a measure for how durability is impacted as a result of immersion in water.
Post-immersion durability reduction is calculated as the difference between the durability of the as-received sample and the durability of the wetted product.
ISO 23343‑1 was developed specifically for the classification of pellets and is not intended to apply to other forms of densified fuel (e.g. briquettes). It is intended that other parts will be developed as necessary to apply these principles to other forms of thermally treated biomass fuels.
ISO 23343‑1 is not intended to be used to conclude the average degree of wetting for any particular storage, but rather indicates the degree to which durability and/or moisture content can be affected under worst-case conditions. This method can be used for comparative purposes towards other pelletized thermally treated biomass fuels.
Who is ISO 23343‑1 for?
ISO 23343‑1 on thermally treated biomass fuels is relevant to:
- Biofuels Industries
- Laboratories and R&D of Biofuels
- Authorities and inspection organizations
Why should you use ISO 23343‑1?
Biomass fuels are organic materials produced in a renewable manner.
ISO 23343‑1 provide information on apparatus, sampling and test, sample preparation, procedure, calculations required to determine water sorption and its effect on the durability of thermally treated biomass fuels
As the buyer of ISO 23343‑1, you can determine water sorption in biomass fuels and its effect on the durability of thermally treated biomass fuels. As a result, ISO 23343‑1 guides the user in maintaining the moisture content in biomass fuel. This helps the user to improve the high quality of biofuel. Overall, with ISO 23343‑1, you will be able to scale your business with globally accepted guidelines.
