WHY DDS CALORIMETERS?

DDS Calorimeters are the designers and manufacturers of the CAL3K range of oxygen bomb calorimeter systems. We offer next generation advanced bomb calorimeter systems with innovative technology and advanced features to suit your analytical needs.

A bomb calorimeter is a laboratory instrument that measures the heat generated by combusting a liquid and solid sample at a constant volume in a closed system. Our 5 calorimeter models are used to determine the calorific value of liquid and solid samples and is manufactured with various applications in mind, including but not limited to: animal feed research, waste product analysis, explosives analysis, fuel and oil analysis, coal and coke analysis, food & nutrition and university research.

The DDS product range ranges from entry-level systems for low sample throughput, to advanced automatic systems that require little to no operator input.

Pankaj Nanda (Handyman's Lime Limited)

We, Handyman's Lime Limited in Ndola, Zambia have been using the CAL3K-A system since March 2015. We use the CAL3K-A system for analysis of calorific value (CV in coal samples). We run on an average 180 samples per month. We have found the system to be reliable and well suited to our requirements. The system is cost effective and easy to maintain. We are extremely satisfied with the system as a whole, we even purchased a second oxygen bomb calorimeter system from Digital Data Systems in 2020.

Somnath Ghosal (Aimil Ltd.)

Thank you team DDS for wonderful and continuous support. This CAL3K-AP installation and performance would give a new enhanced confidence for discussion with all prospects now and in future

Joyce Nkosi (Khwezela Colliery, Thungela)

I, Joyce Nkosi, Laboratory Supervisor at Khwezela Colliery, am using the CAL3K-A calorimeter system. I am very satisfied with the machine, the spares are available and proper service is done on the machine. The machine runs smoothly and I would recommend the machine for coal samples

Thomas Dobbie (Impact Solutions)

Easy to order spare parts: Ordered spare parts, parts shipped in a timely manner, customer service was good.

Michael Wise (International Paper in Alabama, USA)

We have been using the E2K Standard System which we purchased in May 2008. We are using the E2K to analyze wood waste samples - hardwood and pine chips, sawdust, etc. We also analyze crosstie samples which is the wood beam that is found on railroad tracks, and analyze approximately 150 samples per month. We run, on average about 150 CV's a month, and the unit is still going strong.

SAS Technology and Environment Laboratory

SAS Technology and Environment Laboratory are using their DDS Calorimeter for the analysis of hazardous waste with final disposal in incineration ovens. The determination of the Calorific Value of this type of waste is analyzed to determine the residual energy value in order to create the high calorie energy balance required for the incineration furnaces.

Makki (University of Bahrain, College of Science)

We mainly use the CAL2K Bomb Calorimeter for teaching purposes. Physical Chemistry students are using it for the determination of the heat of combustion. Two compounds are used in the experiments run by the students : Solid (Naphthalene) and Liquid (Benzene). Some of the University academic staff also use the CAL2K from time to time for research applications (for example, food stuff applications). Working on the CAL2K, our students find it easy to use, yet powerful enough. It is the ideal teaching instrument. Our students enjoy talking to CAL2K. As for me, I believe that CAL2K Bomb Calorimeter is the best machine money can buy.

Prof. Dr. Emilian Mosnegutu (University of Bacau, Romania)

By using the E2K Bomb Calorimeter I could achieve a wide variety of experimental research, in this way bringing a major contribution to knowledge on the incineration of different materials (mainly solid waste). Possibility of equipment to determine the strength of incineration of different types of material it offers a versatility in use, which makes it superior to other types of equipment which currently exist on the market.

Navigating the Flames: Choosing the Right CAL3K Calorimeter System for your Research
