Fuel & Petrochemical Analysis
Biodiesel production requires fast and reliable testing, and Brimrose NIR spectrometers powered by AOTF NIR technology provide accurate measurement from feedstock to finished fuel. They perform well with gasoline, diesel, kerosene, gas oil, and BTX components, and can be integrated into vapor analyzers for real‑time monitoring across refinery processes. Common applications include measuring free fatty acids (FFAs), cloud point, moisture, methanol and ester content, and incoming oil quality to improve efficiency and fuel consistency.
A Better Way to Improve Biodiesel Quality
Measuring JP1 Fuel from Bladder Tanks on the Battlefield with Brimrose Luminar 3060 Multiplexer
Traditional lab testing is slow and costly because samples must be collected, prepared, and often sent to outside labs. Our NIR spectrometers reduce energy use, save time, and lower costs by taking inline, nondestructive measurements directly in your production process. This minimizes routine lab work and reprocessing while ensuring key fuel‑quality parameters such as moisture, glycerides, and fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) are monitored accurately.
