TAR PROTOCOL sampling system

Turnkey solution for tar sampling

SOCLEMA introduces the TAR Protocol, an automated sampling system designed to analyze tars produced by gasification through pyrolysis, in full compliance with the European reference protocol for tar characterization in syngas.
This solution industrializes a laboratory method by isolating organic contaminants (BTEX, PAHs, phenol, thiophene, etc.) through a sequence of heated and then cooled flasks, ensuring controlled condensation.
Precise Thermal Control

The system combines a Peltier-type cooling module (down to –20 °C) with a heating block (+40 °C), providing fine temperature regulation without the need for dry ice.
It operates within a temperature range of 0 °C to +200 °C, even under demanding industrial conditions.
The chambers, machined from a solid aluminum block, ensure excellent thermal conductivity, while a mass flow controller allows precise flow adjustment (0.5 to 5 Nl/min) and reliable monitoring of transferred volume.
Modular and Ergonomic Design

Easy to operate via a touchscreen interface, the TAR Protocol features quick-connect fittings for fluid connections and a removable section for convenient sample transport.
The system is designed for easy maintenance and is available in multiple configurations to suit specific environments — laboratory, industrial site, or ATEX (enhanced safety) areas.
