GS-PPA PORTABLE GASOLINE ANALYZER
NEW! One instrument, multiple fuels – A complete gasoline test lab in one compact, easy to use instrument
The GS PPA provides the most complete analysis of the widest gasoline blends worldwide. Formerly the GS Series , the new Gas Sensor Portable Process Analyzer produces critical results for gasoline at the touch of a button and delivers test results in three minutes.
Using mid infrared analysis, multiple chemical and physical properties are determined with far more repeatable and reproducible results than other standard ASTM Methods.
Each unit is factory calibrated with a diverse matrix of over 700 fuels, developed globally with major fuel producers delivering dependable equivalent every time. No sample preparation or technical training requirements, make this portable and rugged instrument ideal for lab or field use. Advanced accuracy and flexibility enables effective application in R&D and refinery labs, at refinery process units, and catalytic pilot plants.
The highly versatile GS Portable Process Analyzer has proven effective in refineries as well as commercial, test and research labs worldwide. Quick, accurate fuel analysis with a variety of powerful features -- automatic volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions calculation, flexible user calibration software, and calibration uploads directly to process/on-line equipment
Application
|
Built upon 10+ years development of PetroSpec's renowned spectroscopic fuel analysis technology, GS PPA measures fuel properties, determining multiple analyte levels in a fraction of the time required by other methods and with far more repeatable and reproducible results:
|
|

- Benzene (ASTM D 6277)
- Toluene
- Total Xylenes
- Octane (RON, MON, R+M/2)
- Olefins
|
- Saturates
- Total Aromatics
- Distillation Points (T50, T90)
- Evaporation Points (E200, E300)
- Driveability Index
- VOC Emissions Calculator |

Monitor product quality in the field, at process plants, where fuels are blended, and at process plants |
| - |
Optimize fuel & additive blending |
| - |
Ensure government compliance |
| - |
Verify chain of custody |
| - |
Minimize transmix & contamination problems |
| - |
Increase laboratory efficiency |
Update calibration models, including local or custom fuel blends, for improved cross-method consistency
| • |
Gain increased accuracy with existing calibration |
| • |
Augment the factory calibration set, training instruments to your own unique or local fuel blends |
| • |
Develop new calibrations for specific stream or refinery analyses (i.e. reformate, alkylate, etc.) |
| • |
Improve correlation with engine results and other test methods |
| • |
Benefit from various integrated features, including regression analysis with graphical representation of results & complete statistical analysis, a database management system, and custom model definitions |
| • |
Quickly and easily select from an infinite number of calibrations to analyze a sample and, following analysis, apply different calibration models to the sample spectrum for added insight in seconds. Upload calibrations directly from Portable/Laboratory to Process/On-Line units. |
