Detailed hydrocarbon analysis of petroleum streams
AC Analytical Controls publishes a new brochure on DHA of light petroleum streams and light end in crude oils to comply with ASTM methods D 5134, D 6729, D 6730 and D 6733
- Inert gases: including nitrogen, hydrogen, helium, oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
- Hydrogen sulfide, which requires an additional analysis time of two minutes.
- Benzene and toluene, using the RGA extended method with a total analysis time of eleven minutes.
The AC Hi-Speed Refinery Gas Analyzer uses the new Agilent Technologies 7890 Series Gas Chromatograph with electronic pneumatics control (EPC).
AC configures the GC with application specific valves and columns, two Thermal Conductivity Detectors (TCD) and a Flame Ionization Detector (FID).
All flows and pressures are electronically controlled.
The use of inert material increases the resistance to corrosive materials.
AC has developed the new GASXLNC program that offers an extensive range of report options and allows a multilevel calibration and accurate calculation of gas properties according to standard methods: ASTM D 3588, D 2598, DIN 51666, ISO 6976 and GPA 2172.
The instrument's dedicated software design enables customised calculations to be added or existing calculations to be edited.
The software is compatible with major chromatographic data systems.
Features and benefits include:.
- Characterises the composition of petroleum gases within five minutes.
- Allows the analysis of a broad sample scope.
- Uses the new Agilent 7890 Series Gas Chromatograph.
