Distillation Analysis

Reliable and efficient distillation analysis contributes to improved refinery operations and superior product quality.

Distillation analysis directly impacts product quality by optimizing cut points, purity, safety, and compliance with industry standards. Refineries rely on precise distillation techniques to produce high-quality fuels and other refined products. PAC’s proven analytical instruments offer comprehensive tools to optimize processes, ensure compliance, and enhance product quality.

Micro Distillation

Micro distillation analyzers like PAC’s MicroDist and OptiPMD provide accurate measurements for optimizing cut points in various hydrocarbon components, while adhering to ASTM D7345. By leveraging these analyzers, refineries get test results with less variability, which allows tighter control and maximum upgrade from low- to high-value products.

Atmospheric Distillation

Atmospheric distillation offers cost savings, energy efficiency, safety improvements, and high-quality products – while optimizing energy recovery and improving overall refinery performance. PAC’s atmospheric distillation solutions accommodate various methods and non-standard capabilities, ensuring precise compliance with distillation methods essential for laboratory analysis in refineries.

Simulated Distillation

Simulated distillation uses predictive models to help refineries anticipate the boiling point distribution of crude oil fractions, enabling precise optimization of processes and enhancing product quality while minimizing waste. Simulation tools like PAC’s SIMDIS analyzer facilitate streamlined process design and troubleshooting, allowing refineries to address operational inefficiencies effectively.

Alignment with Traditional Distillation Methods & Enhanced Efficiency

Correlation with Traditional Methods
