TPT has been involved in the wood pellet industry since the early 1980’s. The National Resource Research Institute (NRRI), located in Duluth MN, developed much of the technology needed to initiate the pelletized fuel industry. Because of TPT’s close proximity, NRRI relied on TPT’s fuel analysis lab during this development.

As an active member of the Pellet Fuel Institute (PFI), TPT has been involved in developing the North American Standards for Pelletized/Densified Commercial and Residential Fuel as well as QA/QC procedures. As part of this process, TPT has spearheaded numerous research studies along with identifying appropriate testing methods, validating testing equipment and evaluating variability of test method data.

TPT has also gotten involved in the international pellet industry as well.  Our laboratory has been ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified for both EN and ASTM standards for wood pellet testing.

TPT goes well beyond the reporting of analysis results. We have a solid understanding of how pellet mills work, and how your analysis values may affect the proper functioning of a pellet burning appliance.

If you are looking for routine pellet testing, TPT is your resource.
