New Aromatics and Saturates Analyser

Separation Systems, Inc is proud to introduce a powerful new analytical system to simultaneously determine both the physical and chemical characteristics of petroleum streams with a boiling point range of 200 - 1100OF (121 – 593OC). The system utilises a proprietary programmable sample inlet, GC/FID and GC/MS along with the company’s industry leading SimDis Expert® (v.9) simulated distillation analysis software.

Samples are introduced to the inlet and then homogeneously passed onto a high performance capillary column. The sample components eluting from the column are then precisely split utilising novel micro-fluidic technology and directed to the FID and MS detectors; simultaneously. Through the use of the ASA Expert (Aromatic Saturate Analysis) functionality embedded in the SimDis Expert® software, sample data is obtained from both the GC/FID and GC/MS data systems and combined into a single ‘environment’ that dramatically simplifies data acquisition, analysis, review, and report generation. Compositional results are characterised and include: 4 saturates classses, 12 aromatic classes, 3 thiophene classes and 6 aromatic species.

The system eliminates the need to perform any physical separation of the hydrocarbon fractions (ASTM D2549, D2786 and D3239) saving both time and money. Critical cut points and subtle changes in stream composition are quickly determined for faster, better decisions.

Separation Systems, Inc is a highly experienced provider of both turnkey and customised GC and GC/MS analysis systems for the biofuels, fossil fuels, petroleum, petrochemical, chemical, industrial gases, and power industries. The privately owned company is located in Gulf Breeze, FL USA.
