EN 15408 Solid Recovered Fuels - Methods for Determining Sulfur (S), Chlorine (Cl), Fluorine (F) and Bromine (Br) Content

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 15408 standard. This standard covers the determination of S, Cl, F and Br in solid recovered fuels of various origins and compositions after combustion in an oxygen atmosphere.

This method is valid for concentrations above 0,025 g/kg, depending on the element and the determination technique. In the case of fluorine, this method is valid for concentrations above 0,015 g/kg.

Another way to benefit from the values ​​contained in wastes is to use them as fuel. Waste Derived Fuel (RDF) is a term that applies to materials extracted from shot streams that have a high calorific value (typically about 18 Mega Joules/kilogram). This material can be used in many facilities from cement kilns to power plants.

Selected waste and by-products with recoverable calorific value can be used as fuel in a cement kiln, replacing some of the traditional fossil fuels such as coal if they meet stringent specifications.

The insoluble halides and sulfate present in the original sample or produced during the combustion step cannot be precisely determined by these methods. This European Standard provides recommendations on standardized methods for the determination of halides and sulfate in solution obtained after combustion.

EUROLAB, with its more than 25 years of experience, state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, helps you get precise and fast results.
