Fuel Value

Econotech has the equipment, knowledgeable and experienced staff needed to assess the value of a range of fuels including black liquor, lignin, hog fuel, wood pellets and assorted biomass material. We understand the importance of using established and standard procedures to obtain samples that are representative and correctly prepared thus ensuring that your results are accurate and consistent.

Using calibrated instrumentation, ASTM, NREL and other standard methods, our data is valuable in assessing fuel options for power or recovery boiler operations.
