Quality control of petroleum products in a fast and cost-efficient way
th
Quality assurance and control of gasoline, kerosene, and diesel using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS).
Fast, easy to use, and chemical-free – this is what NIRS stands out for:
Near-infrared spectroscopy is a non-destructive method that requires no sample preparation and provides results within one minute. Measurements can be performed by non-specialists in the lab or at other locations.
Application possibilities of NIRS for different kinds of petrochemicals: diesel, gasoline, and pyrolysis gas
These application notes explain how cetane index, TAN, Aromatics and sulfur content, and bromine number can be analyzed in less than one minute, they present an efficient method to analyze RON as an alternative to ASTM D2699, and they discuss how diene value (or maleic anhydride value) can be quantified rapidly in pygas without any wet chemical tests.
