Abstract:
This paper presents the history and objectives of the development of astandard method for the measurement of organic contaminants in biomass
producer gases. Recently, a project with that title has started in the
European 5"t"h Framework Programme. The structure of this project with
acronym 'Tar Protocol' is also described in this paper. The project is
performed by 17 partners and continues earlier work initiated by IEA
(International Energy Agency), DoE (Department of Energy) and EU (European
Union) in 1998. The project aims to combine two draft Protocols that resulted
from this earlier work. The Tar Protocol will be developed for accurate
measurement of organic contaminants ('tars') over a large range of
concentrations (1 mg/Nm3 to 100 g/Nm3) and conditions (0 - 900 deg C; 0.9 -
60 bars). Besides, a particulate concentration will be determined too.
Together with the Protocol comes a number of accepted 'shortcut' methods
which are based on (or are similar to) existing measurement methods. lt is
foreseen that these shortcut methods, only covering part of these ranges of
concentrations and conditions, will be used most in practice. The question
whether a Tar Protocol is needed, is answered in this paper. 5 refs.
