PHYLLIS

the composition of biomass and waste

Phyllis is a database, containing information on the composition of biomass and waste. Phyllis enables you to make analysis data of individual biomass or waste materials available and offers you the possibility to obtain the average composition of any combination of groups and/or subgroups.

You can get answers on questions like:

  • What is the average sulphur content of wood?
  • What is the ash content of willow?
  • What is the average calorific value of chicken manure?

You can also contact ECN to ask for tailor made selections, fully conducted to your wishes at a reasonable fee. Address biomass@ecn.nl for information or for suggestions for improvement.

Phyllis is designed and maintained bij ECN Biomass with financial support from Novem, Shell Global Solutions and HoSt. In 2003 the amount of biochemical data has been increased substantially in co-operation with Agrotechnology and Food Innovations B.V. (formerly ATO).

At present it contains about 2340 datarecords. Phyllis will be updated and extended regularly. An overview of bio-energy projects in the Netherlands can be found at http://www.biomasster.nl.
