Quality assurance
Quality You Can Measure.
Every line ships to a specification set with the buyer. On biomass that means moisture and ash per purchase agreement, heating value verified by laboratory test before our first commercial shipment, and a phytosanitary certificate when required; on tire-derived fuel it means shred size and steel content.
Our approach
How quality is set
Standards for processed almond wood biomass:
Moisture
Ash
Heating Value Before First Shipment
Quality & Origin
Processed almond wood biomass
moisture
Verified through sampling and testing per project requirements.
On-site moisture testing
Moisture control
More Wood. Less Water. More Usable Energy.
Moisture affects how much usable energy a buyer gets per ton.
Ash control
What Does Not Burn Matters Too.
Excessive ash can mean more residue to handle and more maintenance for the plant.
Processed almond wood biomass

Final plant performance and emissions depend on the combustion system and operating conditions.
Energy performance
Energy Content, Not Just Particle Size.
Heating value and key fuel characteristics will be verified by laboratory testing before our first commercial shipment.
Fuel testing may include
- Gross and Net Calorific Value
- Moisture
- Ash
- Sulfur, Chlorine, Nitrogen
- Bulk Density
- Buyer-Specified Parameters
Clean material
What You Ordered, and Nothing Else.
What does not belong in a biomass load:
Screening, visual inspection, sampling, and laboratory testing per project requirements. Tire-derived fuel is the one exception: its steel is part of the product, declared in the specification, not a contaminant.
The standard
Deliver the material the customer ordered.
Not weight that carries no energy.
Specification-controlled supply
Parameters set with the buyer, before shipment
Quality parameters may include:
Heating Value
Verified by laboratory testing before first shipment
Particle Size
Screened to project requirements, fines to buyer specification
Foreign Material
Screening and inspection
Chemical Characteristics
Testing available per project
Inspection & verification
Quality supported by evidence
Verification depends on the commercial agreement.
- Representative Sampling
- Laboratory Analysis
- Certificate of Analysis
- Third-Party Inspection
- Pre-Shipment Inspection
- Buyer Inspection When Arranged
Acceptance criteria are set in the purchase agreement.
Responsible sourcing & traceability
Knowing where the material comes from
Suppliers can provide sourcing documentation, including FSC-related documentation where applicable.
Traceability records
- Material origin
- Agricultural source
- Processing location
- Production or shipment lot
- Testing information
- Shipment destination
Documentation for procurement & compliance
The Product and the Paperwork Should Match.
We can coordinate or provide documentation per shipment, destination, and buyer requirements:
Commercial & Quality Documentation
- Commercial Invoice
- Packing List
- Weight Documentation
- Product Specification Sheet
- Laboratory Test Report
- Certificate of Analysis
Origin, Export & Destination Documentation
- Certificate of Origin
- Applicable Supplier FSC Documentation
- Bill of Lading
- Export and Customs Documentation
- Container Information
- Phytosanitary Certificate when required
Additional documentation coordinated to customer and destination requirements.
