Determination of calorific value
Maybe the most important parameter of all fuels
is its energy content/calorific value (EN 14918).
The LECO AC600, a semi-automated isoperibol
bomb calorimeter, is able to analyze this
parameter in just 5.5 minutes without sacrificing
accuracy or precision.

TGA
Moisture / Ash / Volatiles content
Save operators time and use an automated
macro thermogravimetric analyzer, analyzing
moisture, ash and volatiles in one sample run. 19
or 38 samples can be measured simultaneously.
LECO TGA701 is well recognized for its high
reliability, stability, accuracy and precision, while
offering expanded functionality and automation.
Ash melting behaviour
A long time underestimated parameter is the
ash fusibility of biofuels (EN 15370). Especially
biomass and alternative fuels show a big variety
of ash fusion behaviour. With the LECO AF 700 an
automated determination of all relevant fusion
points (SST,DT,HT/FT) required by the standard can
be measured for 6(12) samples simultaneously.

Carbon and Sulfur Analysis
Total content of Carbon/Hydrogen/Nitrogen/Sulfur/Oxygen
LECO’s SC series analyzers have always been the
benchmark of fast Sulfur/Carbon determination
by high temperature combustion.
Providing results in just 2-3 minutes, newest
SC832 series has reduced bench space, powerful
software with ergonomic touch-screen interface.
SC832 is a valuable resource for any laboratory
needing fast and accurate analysis at low
operation cost.
Elemental composition of solid biofuels (EN 15104)
is not only important for calorific value correction,
but it is mandatory to report for biomass
produced from chemically treated wood.
Fast, reliable and matrix independent, the LECO
CHNS 628 Series determines the elemental
composition of all kind of biofuels in just 4-5
minutes. The instrument can be equipped with a
an additional module for Oxygen content analysis.
LECO Corporation has been a leader and innovator in analytical instrumentation
for nearly 80 years. Our product range includes elemental analyzers for
measuring CHNOS by combustion/fusion in organic and inorganic materials;
analyzers for crude protein, trace of mercury, ash/moisture/volatile content,
calorific value; and many others.
Being recognized benchmark in analysis of coal, coke and petroleum, LECO
provides proven analytical solutions for biomass and alternative biofuels
quality control. Serving this rapidly growing industry our slogan counts:
Delivering the right results!
