Understanding what your material truly contains is the first step toward finding its best use. At KCL’s chemical analysis laboratory, we help you identify the composition of a wide range of materials — biomass such as wood chips, straw, coffee beans or grounds, potato peels, orange peels, or even process fluids. Every sample tells a

In modern production environments, microbial management is the key to ensuring product quality, purity, and shelf life. Whether in paper and board manufacturing, bio-based materials, or process water systems, microorganisms can enter your process unnoticed – for example, when adding starch, kaolin, or recycled fibers. Once introduced, microbes can multiply, form biofilms, or produce unwanted
