PETRO-QUANT – The XRF Solution for Petrochemical Industry
Jul 08 2011
Through the whole lifetime of petrochemical products (oil, polymers, chemicals) from the production to disposal, thermal treatment or use as secondary fuel, X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) is the most suited analytical method to support all those different applications. Bruker AXS has developed the specific XRF solution to support all petrochemical applications based on XRF: PETRO-QUANT.
It provides quick and easy quantitative elemental analysis for process and quality control laboratories with the world class wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer S8 TIGER.
PETRO-QUANT produces accurate and precise analytical results straight out of the box as the wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (WDXRF) is calibrated for a wide range of applications. It frees therefore the operator from time consuming calibration work, saving weeks of commissioning, to ensure the pay back begins from the very beginning.
For general analysis of hydrocarbon matrices, such as fuels and lubricants, the universal PETRO-QUANT calibration is used. It enables standardless analysis for all required elements (more than 30) from Sodium (Na) to Lead (Pb) covering concentrations from trace elementsppm) to major levels (%) (e.g. for S and Cl).
For compliance with international norms such as ASTM, DIN, IP or EN ISO, samples must be analysed against norm specific calibrations. PETRO-QUANT even supports these standards with detailed instructions and specific suites of calibration solutions.
