3.Draw representative samples and test incoming alternative fuels/raw materials for key parameters, Calorific Value (GCV/NCV), moisture content, ash percentage, volatile matter, total organic carbon (TOC) and particle size distribution

4.Rigorously monitor and flag heavy metals, chlorine, sulfur, and fluorine concentrations to prevent kiln ring formation, preheater jamming or bypass corrosion

5.Perform structural analysis of pre-qualification samples submitted by third-party waste vendors before commercial supply is approved.

6.Perform chemical analysis to ensure product quality compliance
Conduct AFR testing (calorific value, ash, moisture) for efficient combustion control.

7.Ensure strict calibration of all AFR laboratory equipment and proper functioning of AFR laboratory instruments.

8. Maintain complete chemical profiling datasheets, material safety data sheets (MSDS), compatibility matrices and shift quality logs for audit readiness.

9. Follow safety, environmental, and quality standards as per plant guidelines.
