Elemental Analysis of Biofuels

To keep pace with the rapidly emerging developments of new biofuels, including second generation biomaterials, one of the key industry challenges is to ensure customer confidence in consistent quality of low sulfur biofuels using advanced, precise, easy to use analytical technology. This ensures extender product or finished blends meet the exacting new ASTM and EN biofuel specifications.

This technology allows the industry to measure at sub 10-15 ppm levels of sulfur in biofuels to guarantee meeting federal government agency requirements, but also minimizing and measuring at trace ppm levels, metal elements such as Cu, Ca, Mg, Na, K, and P, to ensure that these biofuels of ‘today and the future’, maintain engine emission optimization, as well as providing trouble free motoring.

With a complete range of Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (ED-XRF) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission (ICP-OES) Spectrometers, SPECTRO’s unique solutions for at-line and laboratory elemental analysis are capable of meeting the most demanding product specification testing requirements.
