Summary

TOTeM 38, also entitled Gas Analysis Workshop 2013, was organised in the context of the FP7 EU funded project - “Biofuels Research Infrastructure for Sharing Knowledge” – BRISK.

The objective of the meeting was twofold:

• To present the state of the art in measurement techniques (sampling and analysis) for tar and organic sulphur compounds in raw gas outlets from gasifiers
• To launch the BRISK programme to perform round robin testing of existing techniques

The TOTeM was accommodated as a 1-day event within the 21st European Biomass Conference and Exhibition (EBCE21) held in Copenhagen during June 3-7 2013. Some 50 delegates attended.

The BRISK partners’ primary interest is in raw gas outlets from gasifiers.  The meeting was promoted to a broad range of organisations involved with sampling and analysis of tars and sulphur compounds in hot gas streams.
