The power of Celignis's NIR analysis models is now available for use
at your facility for the rapid at-line analysis of feedstocks and the outputs of your pre-treatment and conversion processes
Concept
Now you have the chance to employ customised Celignis NIR models for lignocellulosic composition,
tailored to the specifics of your samples and conversion processes, on-site at your biomass conversion facility.
The coupling of our precise models with state-of-the-art equipment will enable dozens of samples to be analysed per day at minimal expense,
a huge advantage over the standard chemical analysis methods which take several days per sample.
Our licensed custom models allow analysts with no expertise in chemometrics or in the analysis of the lignocellulosic composition of biomass to get
analytical data in seconds. This allows you to rapidly evaluate the suitability of a particular feedstock for utilisation and the efficiency of your conversion process.
Process Involved
(1) Supply of Samples to Celignis
We target the development of a set of separate predictive models for each process node for which analysis is required. For example, if you are looking to determine
the composition of corn stover both before and after pre-treatment then this would involve two sets of models. For each set we require around 40 samples
that cover a wide variability in expected composition. These samples can be sent to us in the form you would like them to be analysed (e.g. containing moisture and of a variable particle size),
providing that in this form they can be representatively presented to the analytical cell of the NIR device.
We then scan these samples with our NIR unit and assess the suitability of our existing predictive models for accurate compositional analysis.
A number of samples will then undergo reference chemical analysis methods in order to ensure that accurate analytical data are obtained.
While this analysis involves considerable extra expense for us, we only charge for the NIR analysis for each sample.
At the end of this stage will will supply you with accurate analytical data, based on NIR and chemical analysis, for all the samples received.
(2) NIR Model Development
Based on the data obtained in Stage 1 we then develop a set of predictive models for lignocellulosic composition based on the NIR spectra of your samples.
This model development is undertaken free of charge and we supply you with the performance statistics for these models (e.g R2, standard error in prediction etc.).
You can then decide whether you would like to go ahead with the purchase of the NIR equipment and the licensing of our models.
(3) Model Maintenance Contract
When the NIR equipment is installed on your site a software package is also included. This software allows access to the customised NIR models that we have developed for you.
We license these models on an annual basis and the contract covers the maintenance of these models over that year. This maintenance includes the chemical analysis of a number of samples per month
at our lab and the subsequent refinement and optimisation of the models. In this way the models will continue to be accurate as process conditions change over time.

Celignis is a Partner in 3 Successful Proposals for EU Funding
We are pleased to announce that three of the proposals involving Celignis, submitted to the CBE-JU programme for funding collaborative biomass research in Europe, were successful. These projects will provide an additional funding of €1.5m to Celignis and build on our achievements in other CBE and EU projects. In particular, the projects are all at enhanced TRLs (6/7) and will use our existing Celignis Bioprocess infrastructure and will also fund further development of our bioprocessing capacities and the Bioprocess Development Services we offer our clients.
Details on the funded projects are provided below:
BIONEER - This project was funded under CBE-JU topic IA-06 and focuses on the TRL 6/7 production of biobased platform chemicals. Celignis's activities in the project focus on scaling up the work undertaken in our ongoing
Celignis to Exhibit and Present at Major Biochar Event
The 2024 North American Biochar Conference will take place in Sacramento, California, on Feb 12-15
On Feb 12-15 we'll be exhibiting at the 2024 North American Biochar Conference, taking place at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Centre in Sacramento, California.
We're looking forward to interacting with the 1000+ expected attendees, outlining our extensive range of analytical and application testing services for biochar.
Celignis CIO Lalitha Gottumukkala will also be a member of the expert panel focused on developing improved laboratory methods for biochar characterisation.
This Networking Event Will Involve Discussions on Collaborations for Proposals to the 2024 CBE-JU Topics
The Circular Bioeconomy Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE-JU) is an organisation that funds biomass research in Europe at various Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs). Since 2016 Celignis has been an active participant in a number of projects funded by the CBE-JU.
The Biobased Industries Consortium (BIC) is the steering committee that helps to steer the focus of research for the CBE-JU programme. In 2023 Celignis joined the BIC as a Full Industry Member and participated in several proposals submitted for different research topics in the CBE-JU's 2023 Work Programme.
We're Hiring - Business Administration & Client Relationship Manager
This position will involve working closely with senior management, fostering existing and new client relationships.
Situated in Limerick, Ireland, Celignis currently operates at two centres, Celignis Analytical and Celignis Bioprocess, actively engaging in a variety of private and public bioeconomy projects. As we continue to expand, we're looking to strengthen our team of 14 with a Business Administration and Client Relationship Manager who can bring a blend of enthusiasm and expertise.
This position will involve working closely with senior management, fostering existing and new client relationships, and ensuring successful delivery of our services, playing a key role in our ongoing growth and success.
Celignis to Sponsor and Present at Major Biochar Event
The event takes place on May 3rd at Carrick-on-Shannon
We are pleased to announce that, on May 3rd, Celignis will be presenting and exhibiting at the National Biochar and Carbon Products Conference 2023, which is taking place in Carrick-on-Shannon in County Leitrm, Ireland.
This conference is being organised under the auspices of the Interreg Northwest Europe-funded THREE C Project, entitled 'Creating and sustaining Charcoal value chains to promote a Circular Carbon economy in NWE Europe'.
The conference will highlight both Irish stakeholders who are currently working in the biochar and carbon products sector, but also partners from the THREE C project (covering Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium, France and Wales, as well as Ireland) who have interesting stories and products to share.
