Our services in detail

All our skills are listed below.

Methanisation

  • Input quality (trace element content / agronomic value / heavy metals),
  • BMP test (methanogenic potential),
  • Gas quality and analysis (major elements: CH4 / H2 / H2S / CO / O2, chlorine, fluorine, siloxanes, humidity, mercaptans, sulphur, VOCs, metals, ammonia NH3, dust, etc.),
  • Digestate quality (agronomic value, heavy metals, PAHs, PCBs, microbiology & health approval),
  • Biological monitoring (volatile fatty acids, buffering capacity, FOS/TAC),
  • Methane leak detection (infrared camera with CH4 filter).
 

According to NF U44 051, NF U44 095 and NF U44 551

Analysis of compost and organic amendments

1. Agronomic criteria

  • Physical analysis (dry matter, organic matter, pH),
  • Nitrogen & Carbon (total nitrogen, total organic carbon, calculation of C/N ratio),
  • Agronomic metals (Ca, Mg, K, P),
  • Trace elements (B, Co, Mn, Mo, Fe, Cu, Zn).

2. Contaminants

  • Trace metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Se, Zn),
  • Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH),
  • Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB).

3. Safety criteria

  • Sorting of inerts,
  • Microbiology (Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Helminth eggs, Listeria monocytogenes, Enterococci, Clostridium perfringens).

4. Compost maturity

  • ISMO (Organic Matter Stability Index),
  • Carbon & Nitrogen mineralisation.

Solid Recovered Fuels (SRF) and recovery of various wastes

1. Control of fuel flows and analysis of the following parameters: 

  • Moisture content,
  • Calorific value (PCI/PCS),
  • Total chlorine,
  • Total fluorine
  • Total bromine,
  • Total Iodine,
  • Ash content,
  • Inert sorting,
  • MOS/MONS measurement,
  • Metals,
  • PCB / PCT / PCP.

2. Analyses for cement and material recovery :

  • Combustion parameters: moisture, elemental analysis and calorific value, ash,
  • Pollutants including: halogens, chlorine, heavy metals, hydrocarbons and VOCs,
  • The major elements of cement : Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO, etc.

An example of a project

Here is an example of an engineering project we have carried out. While we guarantee confidentiality, we will be happy to give you some details.

Performance testing and validation on anaerobic digestion plants

Stakes :

  • Validate a process and the parameters of the installation on the overall performance.
  • To ensure the good performance of the tools in place and to limit the loss of profit on gases that are more or less rich and not valorised.

WESSLING added value:

  • Expertise in gas quality "in situ",
  • Fully dedicated on-site equipment,
  • Coupling of leakage control for general optimisation of the installation.
     

Our services (analysis)

Historically, WESSLING France was dedicated to the analysis of polluted sites and soils. We have progressively developed our field of expertise and now offer a wide range of services.

Food and feed

Microbiology, audits and trainings

We support you in your quality procedures.

Alcohol

Our alcohol analysis laboratory

Located in the Paris region, the laboratory analyses alcoholic drinks and much more.

Cosmetics

Full and personalised support

Food packaging and consumer products

Migration testing, compostability testing and emission testing

Environment

Our historical know-how

We carry out environmental analyses and you meet the technical and legal requirements. All of this while respecting the protection of the environment, health and consumers.

Indoor air quality

For the health in buildings

All our analyses for certification or simply for indoor living quality.

     
Search for microplastics

To detect microparticle and nanoparticle pollution

Detection through analysis but also advice and expertise in finding solutions to this problem.

     
R&D

Your ideas come alive

Waste recovery

Let's use the resources of our waste

Whether it is organic waste or energy waste, we analyse it and support you.
