What is the difference between GCV on an ARB basis and an ADB basis?
ARB (As Received Basis) and ADB (Air Dried Basis) are both common bases used for measuring the Gross Calorific Value (GCV) of coal or biomass, but they differ in how the moisture content is considered. Here is the key difference between the two: 1. ARB (As Received Basis) Definition: ARB refers to the analysis done on a sample as it is received, with its natural or original moisture content intact. It includes the total moisture that is present when the sample is collected. GCV on ARB: The GCV measured on an ARB basis takes into account all of the moisture and other components [...]
