Fuel Analyzer

Gas analyzers, sometimes also called fuel analyzers, are devices used for measuring the concentration or quality of a gas within a mixture of gases. Fuel analyzers are used in a large range of industries – including manufacturing, agriculture, petroleum, chemical, and pharmaceuticals. Analyzers come in a variety of forms, from built-in systems for larger purposes to portable handheld devices that can provide quick measurements in a number of environments.

FTIR Fuel Analysis

In FTIR fuel analysis a spectrum of the analyzed fuel is recorded in the mid-infrared region using an Fourier transform spectrometer. Depending on the chosen method a single measurement is able to detect over 40 parameters within a few seconds. For gasoline measurements e.g. RON, MON, AKI, distillation properties, esters and aromatics concentrations are determined. When analyzing diesel aromatics, cetane improvers, biodiesel and many more can be quantified. Analyzing biodiesel ERASPEC distinguishes between FAME / FAEE and vegetable oil. It measures FAME in full compliance with ASTM D7806 and EN 14078. Typical parameters for jet fuel include FAME, aromatics, freezing and flash point, smoke point and distillation parameter, as well as viscosity.
