Our portfolio of Calorimeters for Calorific Value, Wobbe Index, Specific Density, CARI, Heating Value deliver real value, and peace of mind for compliance:

    We offer two types of calorimeters:

    “Injection-style” zero-hydrocarbon emissions calorimeters:   Used in research and development, quality control, and compliance testing in the petrochemical, automotive, and energy industries. They provide a precise and reliable method for measuring the energy content of various fuels and other combustible materials without contributing to air pollution or other environmental concerns.

    Continuous “direct” calorimeters: Used in industrial and commercial settings, such as power plants, refineries, and chemical production facilities, to monitor the energy content of the materials being processed and optimize the efficiency of the production process. By continuously measuring the calorific value of the material, operators can adjust the process parameters in real-time to minimize energy consumption, reduce waste, and improve product quality.

    Calorimeters are important to industrial applications because they provide a highly accurate and reliable method for measuring the heating value of fuels and other energy sources. The heating value of a fuel is a critical parameter that is used to determine the efficiency of combustion processes and to calculate the amount of energy that can be obtained from a particular fuel.

    CALORIMETERS ARE NEEDED FOR MORE THAN COMPLIANCE

    • Energy efficiency: BTU calorimeters can be used to measure the heating value of fuels and other energy sources, which is essential for optimizing combustion processes and improving energy efficiency. By accurately measuring the heating value of a fuel, it is possible to determine the optimal conditions for combustion, such as air-to-fuel ratio and combustion temperature, which can help to reduce energy waste and increase efficiency.
    • Fuel quality control: BTU calorimeters are commonly used in the fuel industry to measure the heating value of various types of fuels, including coal, oil, and natural gas. By measuring the heating value of these fuels, it is possible to ensure that they meet specific quality standards and regulatory requirements.
    • Emissions control: By accurately measuring the heating value of a fuel, it is possible to calculate the amount of pollutants that are likely to be emitted during combustion. This information can be used to design combustion systems that minimize emissions and comply with environmental regulations.
    • Process optimization: BTU calorimeters can be used to monitor the heating value of fuels in real-time, which is essential for optimizing combustion processes and ensuring that they are running at peak performance. By continuously monitoring the heating value of a fuel, it is possible to adjust combustion conditions as needed to maximize energy efficiency and reduce emissions.
