Analyser detects sulphur in fuel

A Spectro Analytical Instruments product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Mar 9, 2006

Polarised energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence system complies with the D 7220-06 testing standard for determination of the sulphur content of automotive fuels.

The Spectro IQ polarised energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence (ED XRF) system from Spectro Analytical Instruments complies with the D 7220-06 testing standard recently issued by ASTM International for determination of the low-sulphur content of automotive fuels.

The repeatability and reproducibility of Spectro IQ's results also make the instrument suitable for refineries, pipeline operations, transportation terminals and others seeking to comply with the US Environmental Protection Agency mandated transition to low sulphur diesel fuel in 2006.

The recently introduced benchtop system has a detection limit for sulphur in fuels of less than 1ppm and provides a complete and simultaneous analysis of all other critical and relevant elements, including lead, manganese, nickel and vanadium.

Its performance is based on C-force polarised optics that provides a level of sensitivity previously unavailable in an ED-XRF analyser.

Its electrically cooled Si-drift detector achieves good spectral resolution and can handle high count rates.

The analyser is user friendly with a method wizard that takes users through the analysing process step-by-step, making it easy to build an analysis method.
