June 2018 Newsletter - Celignis Biomass Analysis Laboratory

High Precision

Many analyses are undertaken in duplicate so you can be sure of the accuracy of our work. We are proud of our levels of precision and provide real-time statistics for these on our website.

Online Database

Access and manage your orders and data online, wherever you are. Data are uploaded as obtained, so you don't have to wait till the end of the order to see results.

Detailed Reporting

We are confident to say that our reporting is unrivalled in quality. We provide online, pdf, and Excel reports with high levels of detail, designed to focus on the key parameters for your sector.

Expert Support

We are not only analysts but also scientists that understand business. We can help you interpret the results we obtain in our analyses. Feel free to call us if you have any questions.

Analysis to Optimise Anaerobic Digestion

Analysis to Maximise the Efficiency of Anaerobic Digestion

To celebrate our launch of a suite of new analysis packages relating to the feedstocks and outputs of anaerobic digestion (AD), we have written this article which explains the basics behind AD as well as how carefully-designed analysis can help to optimise process yields and to select the best mixture of feedstocks for processing.

See our BBI Pitches for 2018

Celignis is a partner in one ongoing project (BIOrescue) funded by Horizon 2020's Biomass Based Industries Joint Undertaking and we are in another project starting next month. In April the 2018 call for proposals was officially launched. We have identified a number of topics where Celignis could play an important role.

Analysis for RINs Credits

RINs credits are the currency of the USA's Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS). However, the rules involved can be quite difficult to understand. In this article we explain the process involved and how our analytical techniques can help in cases where feedstocks are not assigned to a particular category of RINs credits.

Employee Spotlight - Lalitha

Lalitha starting working at Celignis in February this year. Her role covers project management and the development of new analytical technqiues, particularly those related to the anaerobic digestion sector. Here are her responses to some questions about her background, her work at Celignis and her other interests.

Articles of the Month

In a new feature for the Newsletter, we present selected recent scientific articles, covering different topics in the bioeconomy, which may be of interest to our clients.

Anaerobic Digestion

This 2018 paper "Biogas and its opportunities - A review" by Kougias and Angelidaki is a very useful review on AD and biogas production and presents detailed pathways for the conversion of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates to methane.

Biorefining Processes

This paper, published this month in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews by Corato et al., provides a detailed overview of the spectrum of products that can be ontained when residues are prcoessed in biorefining technologies.

Analytical Technqiues

"Recent advances in understanding the pseudo-lignin formation in a lignocellulosic biorefinery" by Shinde et al. in Green Chemistry provides novel technqiues for characterising pseudo-lignins formed during biorefining processes.
