Director Daniel Hayes is present at the Value Chain of Waste and Bio-resources as Feedstocks event being held at the Portland Hotel in Manchester, UK, on June 30th to July 1st.
The event is hosted by the BBSRC Integrated Biorefining Research and Technology club (IBTI) and Networks in Biotechnology and Bioenergy (BBSRC NIBB), including the AD Network, Food Waste Network, Lignocelluloisic Biorefinery Network and Plants to Products. There will be a discussion on the topics underpinning the value chain of waste feedstsocks, with an aim to assess the value chain from all perspectives; from the feedstock to the end-product within the value chain, as well as capturing novel technologies for the future and the challenges with respect to policy and regulation in the utilisation of waste feedstocks.
Daniel Hayes will be making a presentation on the role that Celignis's laboratory and proprietary rapid analysis models could play in evaluating the suitability of these resources for bioprocessing.

Accurate analysis of biomass samples is of crucial importance in order to determine whether they are suitable for the production of energy, biofuels, and chemicals. However, traditional methods of analysis can be very time consuming and expensive.
Fortunately, Celignis offers a solution to this problem in the form of its NIR analysis method, which allows for many important compositional parameters to be determined within 24 hours at significantly reduced prices.
The organisers of the Advanced Bioeconomy Feedstocks Conference, to be held in New Orleans, USA, recognise the importance of accurate but cost-effective biomass analysis and have invited Celignis to give a presentation regarding our proprietary NIR models. The presentation will take place at 10:30am on June 10th at the Royal Sonesta Hotel on Bourbon St, New Orleans.

We have now installed a new Carbolite Volatile Matter Furnace in the Celignis laboratory. This allows us to offer the following new analysis packages:
Volatile matter is determined as the loss in mass, less that due to moisture, when a sample is heated at 900 degrees Celsius for a period of 7 minutes. This procedure is undertaken out of contact with air under standardised conditions.
We determine volatile matter according to the procedures outlined in European Standard EN15148-2009 ("Solid biofuels - Determination of the content of volatile matter") and the Carbolite Furnace and special volatile matter crucibles have been specifically designed to satisfy the requirements of this method.

We have now installed and commissioned two new pieces of equipment in our laboratory that allow us to offer the following new analysis packages:
P33 - Ultimate (Elemental) Analysis
P34 - Calorific Value and Elements
We use a Vario MACRO cube elemental analyser for the quantification of the Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Sulphur content of samples. It can process relatively large amounts of sample (over 100mg), allowing us to analyse hetereogeneous samples with improved levels of accuracy and precision.
For the determination of the calorific (heating) value of samples we use a Parr 6200 bomb calorimeter.
The gross calorific value (often referred to as the higher heating value (HHV), gross energy or upper heating value) is determined by bringing all the products of the combustion of a sample back to the original pre-combustion temperature, condensing any vapour produced. The gross calorific value takes into account the latent heat of vaporization of water in the combustion products, and is useful in calculating heating values for fuels where condensation of the reaction products is practical. The determination of the gross calorific value requires a correction based on the sulphur content of the sample.
The net calorific value (often referred to as the lower heating value (LHV) or lower calorific value) assumes that the water component of a combustion process is in the vapour state at the end of combustion.
The net calorific value is more relevant than the gross calorific value when comparing fuels where condensation of the combustion products is impractical, or heat at a temperature below 150 degrees Celsius cannot be put to use. The net calorific value is calculated from the gross calorific value by using corrections based on the oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen contents of the sample.
We determine the net and gross calorific values according to the procedures outlined in European Standard EN 14918:2009 ("Solid biofuels. Determination of calorific value"). The Parr 6200 bomb calorimeter has been specifically designed to satisfy the requirements of this method.
We report values on a dry-mass basis as well as on an as-received basis and a dry ash-free basis (providing that the ash content and as-received moisture content of the sample have also been determined). We use the calculations outlined in European Standard EN 15296:2011 ("Solid biofuels - Conversion of analytical results from one basis to another") to carry out these conversions.

A new article, authored by Celignis Managing Director Daniel Hayes has been published in Fuel. The article is entitled "Analysis of the lignocellulosic components of peat samples with development of near infrared spectroscopy models for rapid quantitative predictions" and details the work undertaken to develop near infrared spectroscopy as a rapid analysis method for peat samples.
The article can be accessed on the ScienceDirect website or in Volume 150 of the Fuel Journal.
Abstract: Analytical data and quantitative near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy models for various lignocellulosic components (including Klason lignin and the constituent sugars glucose, xylose, mannose, arabinose, galactose, and rhamnose), moisture, and ash were obtained for 53 peat samples. These included samples with high, medium, and low degrees of humification. Klason lignin was the main constituent and was greatest in the samples classified as being highly humified, with structural sugars the lowest in this class. The total sugars contents of all samples were considered to be insufficient to allow for their use in biorefining hydrolysis processes for the production of chemicals and biofuels. NIR models were developed for spectral datasets obtained from the samples in their unprocessed (wet), dry and unground, and dry and ground states. Typically the most accurate models were based on the spectra of dry and ground samples. However the NIR models for the wet samples still offered reasonable predictive capabilities. All models were suitable at least for sample screening, with the models for total sugars, glucose, xylose, galactose, and moisture suitable for quantitative analyses.

A new article, featuring content written by Celignis director Daniel Hayes, has been published in the "Waste and Biomass Valorization" journal. The article, entitled "Determination of the Higher Heating Value of Pig Manure" describes the use of near infrared models, developed by Daniel Hayes, to predict the Higher Heating Value and other properties of pig manure. The abstract of the article is copied below:
Abstract: The ability of using novel method of near-infrared (NIR) spectra to predict the composition and higher heating value (HHV) of dry pig manure was examined. Number of pig manure solid fractions variously pre-treated samples were collected in Denmark, from different pig slurry treatment plants (using mechanical or chemical-mechanical separation) and then analysed for their energy values. These values were determined by conventional method using bomb calorimetry and also calculated based on ultimate analysis. NIR spectra method was successfully applied and reasonable R2 values were obtained for the independent prediction set for nitrogen, ash, and the HHV. NIR also showed ability for predicting which type of treatment plants the samples came from. In addition, new empirical equations, based on ultimate analyses of pig manure solids used for prediction of the HHV was established.
