The Model 440 CHN analyser is helping determine the suitability of a waste material for use as a fuel.
With the volume of waste materials generated by industrialised nations growing year on year, the search for an effective environmentally-friendly alternative to disposal in landfill sites is being actively sought.
One solution being investigated by waste reclamation organisations is using the organic matter in waste as a fuel in waste to energy plants.
However waste materials are typically varied containing a wide range of components in addition to organic materials.
Consequently the need for a rapid method to determine the energy content of waste materials has been much sought after.
Using an Exeter Analytical Model 440 Elemental Analyser the percentage Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen in a waste sample, which relates directly to its energy content, can be accurately determined in as little as 6 minutes.
The Exeter Analytical Model 440 is a static combustion CHN Elemental Analyser, with a unique horizontal furnace design, which enables easy removal of sample residue between each waste material analysis.
This is particularly important with waste materials that typically produce a considerable amount of uncombusted residue (metals, inorganic fillers etc) after each analysis.
Using an Exeter Analytical Model 440 - one combustion tube will analyse in excess of 1000 waste samples without the need for removal and cleaning.
