Abstract:
The Tar Measurement Standard (TMS) guideline has been developed in order to provide a normalised procedure for biomass gasifiers tar analysis, allowing a more effective comparison of tar concentrations. It is currently a very reliable method for the sampling and analysis of tar compounds. However, the TMS requires a long sampling time to quantify tar at low concentration ranges (< 0.1g/Nm3). A Solid Phase Adsorption (SPA) sampling method followed by Thermal Desorption (TD) has been developed to shorten sampling time without analytes dilution. The analytical procedure of this method is presented in this paper. The SPA/TD method is quantitatively compared with the current cold-trapping method (such as the TMS) on tar model compounds and on real tar compounds from a laboratory scale set up.
