Abstract

This specification details the physical and chemical requirements for pyrolysis liquid biofuels produced from biomass that are intended for use in industrial burners equipped to handle these types of fuels. The type of biofuel covered here is not intended for use in residential heaters, small commercial boilers, engines, or marine applications. It shall remain uniform in medium-term storage and shall not separate into layers due to gravity. Properly sampled test specimens shall undergo test procedures to determine their adherence to the following requirements: gross heat of combustion, water content, pyrolysis solids content, kinematic viscosity, density, sulfur content, ash content, pH, flash point, and pour point.

Scope

1.1 This specification covers a pyrolysis liquid biofuel produced from biomass intended for use in industrial burners equipped to handle these types of fuels. This type of biofuel is not intended for use in residential heaters, small commercial boilers, engines, or marine applications.

Note 1—For information on the significance of the physical, chemical, and performance properties identified in this specification, see Appendix X1.

1.2 This specification is for use in contracts for the purchase of pyrolysis liquid biofuel and for guidance of consumers of this type of fuel.

1.3 Nothing in this specification should preclude observance of national or local regulations, which may be more restrictive.

Note 2—The generation and dissipation of static electricity may create problems in the handling of pyrolysis liquid biofuel. For more information on the subject, see Guide D 4865.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.4.1 ExceptionBTU units are included for information only in 3.5.1.

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
