Analysis of low level Biodiesel (%FAME) contamination
of diesel fuel
In some industries like nuclear power or aviation, biodiesel is considered a contaminant that must be monitored at levels that are low enough to make the measurement difficult by conventional FTIR spectrometers. A2 has changed that by developing FTIR analyzers that makes accurate analysis of low level (50 – 10000 ppm) biodiesel in fuels easy and fast. The breakthrough results from the patented TumblIR sampling technology coupled with A2 Technologies’ powerful bench-top or battery powered compact FTIR analyzers.
Advantages of the PAL family analyzers for biodiesel analysis:
- Patented TumblIR sampling interface provides %FAME detection to 50 ppm in less than 2 minutes
- Systems available for on-site lab (PAL) or battery powered field application (iPAL)
- No sample prep required – single drop of fuel provides all information and clean up is a simple wipe
- Analyses are provided on-site – no waiting for results
- Simple operation, minimal user training
- zero-maintenance rugged design is ideal for on-site lab or field operation
