Oil, Gas & Petrochemical
Biodiesel - From Feedstock to Fuel
Brimrose AOTF-NIR spectrometers are excellent tools for measurement of fuel properties. Good results for gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and gas-oil as well as BTX components in fuels in vapor analyzers can be used in process in many areas of the refinery. Potential applications include Free Fatty Acids (FFA’s), Cloud Point, Moisture Content, Methanol and Ester Content, Incoming Oil Quality, etc.
SAVE ENERGY, TIME, AND MONEY
Brimrose spectrometers interface directly with your production process to provide In-line, non-destructive measurements. This means fewer reprocessed materials, less time spent on routine lab work, and a lower operating cost.
BIODIESEL QUALIFICATION
Qualification of Biodiesel is very important to both manufacturers and consumers. Some of the important components to look at include moisture, glycerides (mono, di, tri), and Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME). It is essential to measure these components to ensure that the finished product is of the highest quality.
FAST AND SIMULTANEOUS RESULTS
Typically, most measurements are taken in the lab. A sample has to be taken from the line, prepared, and analyzed, sometimes being shipped to a third-party lab if one is not on site. Using traditional methods cost time and money and can result in unnecessary waste. Brimrose spectrometers provide extremely fast measurements for all of your analytes simultaneously, providing better data trends for your refining process.
