The main requirements for sample analysis are outlined below, if you require further detail please contact us at sales@celignis.com.
Amount of Sample: Click here to see a table outlining the minimum weight requirements for each analysis package.
Particle Size: The infrared and chemical anaysis of samples requires them to be well ground, with a particle size of less than 500 microns (0.5mm). If your sample is not ground to this specification then we will need to carry out some sample preparation work (Celignis Analysis Package P1). The cost of this will depend on the amount of sample that needs to be processed and the original state of the material.
We recommend that you specify whether the sample is a bulk solid (for example, a block of wood), a chopped material (with particle size greater than 0.5mm), or a ground material with a particle size
less than 0.5mm. This information can be provided in your email, on the Order Form,
or using the Celignis Database.
Particle Size: The infrared and chemical anaysis of samples requires them to be well ground, with a particle size of less than 500 microns (0.5mm). If your sample is not ground to this specification then we will need to carry out some sample preparation work (Celignis Analysis Package P1). The cost of this will depend on the amount of sample that needs to be processed and the original state of the material.
Moisture: We can accept delivery of wet samples. However, for all analysis packages
except P2 (Moisture Content), we will need to air-dry these samples prior to other stages of
sample preparation and chemical/infrared analysis. The cost of this will be included in Celignis Analysis Package P1 (Sample Preparation) and will depend on the
amount of work involved for each sample.
If you plan to send wet samples to us, please ensure that these are kept in air-sealed containers (bags, boxes etc.) so that the moisture content will not be lost during delivery.
If you plan to dry the samples yourself, please ensured that this is carried out at room-temperature (air-drying). This may take several days for some samples and will
require them being periodically turned to ensure that the drying is uniforn. Do not use an oven to dry samples since this can result in the loss of some volatile components.
Anaerobic Digestion: If you are sending samples for the determinaion of their biomethane potential then there are
special requirement regarding the amount of sample to be sent and the containers that the samples are stored in. Please go here to see those guidelines.
Ash Melting Behaviour: Please note that we the tests to determine the ash melting behavour
of samples are undertaken on the ashed sample. We will need at least 1g of ash to undertake the test and the amount of biomass required to make this amount of ash
will depend on the ash content of the feedstock.

Celignis to Sponsor and Present at Major Biochar Event
The event takes place on May 3rd at Carrick-on-Shannon
We are pleased to announce that, on May 3rd, Celignis will be presenting and exhibiting at the National Biochar and Carbon Products Conference 2023, which is taking place in Carrick-on-Shannon in County Leitrm, Ireland.
This conference is being organised under the auspices of the Interreg Northwest Europe-funded THREE C Project, entitled 'Creating and sustaining Charcoal value chains to promote a Circular Carbon economy in NWE Europe'.
The conference will highlight both Irish stakeholders who are currently working in the biochar and carbon products sector, but also partners from the THREE C project (covering Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium, France and Wales, as well as Ireland) who have interesting stories and products to share.
