PAC fuel systems analyzers’ precise, continuous computer control of all test functions ensures accurate, repeatable results with increased data collection and a minimal amount of operator time during fuel composition analysis.
Fuel composition analysis is critical to maintaining fuel quality, regulatory and environmental compliance, and consistency of performance. For example, ASTM D 3241 is a standard test required to be run on every batch of jet fuel produced for the purpose of evaluating the oxidation stability of the fuel, and is typically performed by PAC’s Alcor JFTOT®analyzer. To rate the deposits on tested heater tubes, PAC offers a manual tube rater, the VTR-100. For automated tube rating, Alcor’s Video Tube Deposit Rater (VTDR) is designed to analyze JFTOT™ heater tube deposits, rate the results and create a permanent electronic record allowing the operator to opportunity to send the results anywhere via email within moments of completing the test.
For gasoline analysis, AC’s Reformulyzer® Mark 3 (M3) by PAC provides a complete identification and quantification of all hydrocarbon types, oxygenates and carbon number distribution. PAC analyzers also provide detailed hydrocarbon analysis using single column technology to determine the components in petroleum streams and crude oil, and are compliant with ASTM D 5134, D 6729, D 6730, and D 6733. AC Analytical Controls® by PAC offers a full range of Detailed Hydrocarbon Analyzers (DHA) for flexible and reliable component identification, and solutions that determine accurate true boiling point data in naphtha up to crude oil samples.
The new Herzog’s Cetane ID 510 analyzer by PAC is a totally computer-controlled Cetane analyzer that is fully automated with "one button" operation for ease and simplicity of use when calibrating the instrument or running a test sample. The CID 510 is used for the precise measurement of ignition delays, which are automatically converted to derived cetane number (DCN) by the onboard computer. This analysis can be applied to all types of diesel fuels and blending streams including Biofuels and Cetane improved products.
Alcor’s MCRT-160 (microcarbon residue tester) provides safe, simple measurement of di’s tendency to thermally degrade and form coke under high-temperature pyrolyzing conditions. Its powerful digital control over ASTM test steps delivers results equivalent to manual methods with significantly less fuss. A typical D189 carbon residue analysis can easily take 90 minutes or more of a skilled operator’s time. The MCRT-160 frees skilled lab personnel for other important tasks. The operator only has to weigh the initial and final samples and start the test. The MCRT-160 automatically executes the factory-programmed ASTM D 4530 test program. Plus, for added convenience and versatility, the MCRT-160 can be programmed to automate your own specialized time-temperature test profiles.
Petrospec’s gasoline sensor portable process analyzer (GS PPA) and turbine and diesel portable process analyzer (TD PPA) produce critical results for fuels at the touch of a button. These analyzers deliver test results in three minutes. Multiple chemical and physical properties are determined using mid-infrared analysis, with far more repeatable and reproducible results than other Standard ASTM Methods. The GS PPA and TD PPA provide the most complete analysis of the widest gasoline and diesel blends worldwide. Each unit is factory calibrated with a diverse matrix of over 700 fuels, developed globally with major fuel producers delivering dependable equivalent results every time. No sample preparation or technical training requirement make this portable and rugged instrument ideal for lab or field use. Proven performance enables fast verification of fuel quality and specifications. Using the GS PPA and TD PPA allows the monitoring of product quality, optimizes fuel and additive blending, ensures government compliance, verifies chain of custody, and minimizes transmix and contamination problems. Advanced calibration software allows onsite fuel adaption enabling applications in or for R&D and refinery labs, at refinery process units, and catalytic pilot plants.
