Standardisation of a guideline for the measurement of tars in biomass producer gases (tar measurement standard)

Objective

Measurement methods and definitions for organic contaminants in biomass gasification based CHP-systems are numerous and non-uniform. So, comparison of data and definition of maximum allowable concentrations for the contaminants is problematic. This is an obstacle for market introduction of CHP systems as the contaminants can cause damage or an unacceptable level of maintenance. Therefore, in a previous EU project, a Guideline for tar measurement ("the Guideline") was developed. Although several institutes have now used this Guideline, it does not have the status of an international standard yet. The objective of this project is to remove this obstacle by standardising the Guideline. The result will be a CEN Standard. As acceptance and use by others is considered to be essential, dissemination and internalisation of the Standard forms part of this project.
