技术PAL和iPALFTR分析器快速接受柴油生物柴油测量%FAME应用

Diesel fuel containing up to 5% biodiesel meets the ASTM D975 standard, which does not require disclosure of the biodiesel level, and this can be a significant issue for certain diesel fuel users.  A2 Technologies (A2) has developed an enhanced method for determining contamination levels of FAME in diesel.  This method combines the more sensitive transmission IR sampling interface specified in EN 14078 with the universal algorithm and sample set specified in ASTM D7371 to produce the most sensitive and accurate method available.  This enables the PAL systems to quickly and accurately predict the percentage of biodiesel in diesel fuel in the range from 0.025% to 20%.  In round robin testing, the accuracy of this method has been found to be superior to the other methods, especially for measuring low levels of biodiesel.

The PAL systems use A2's patented TumblIR IR transmission technology to provide the 100 micron pathlength specified in the EN 14078 method.  The TumblIR sampling system eliminates the difficulties associated with using traditional IR transmission cells and is as easy to use as the ATR type device specified in the ASTM method.   Measurement of % FAME is as easy as placing a drop of diesel fuel on the TumblIR lower window, rotating the top window into place and then initiating the measurement.  The two windows, when placed in the measurement position, create a 100 micron pathlength as specified in the EN 14078 method.   Clean-up is as simple as rotating the windows apart, and then cleaning the two windows with a simple wipe.

Graham Miller技术主管评论道 : “ 发电航空等行业使用柴油的质量至关重要 。事实上,每当柴油存储并应用于重要应用中时,必须知道生物柴油水平、水含量和燃料氧化程度 。我们感到高兴的是,客户发现PAL系统组合中的重大值,即紧凑尺寸、易用性和应用专用软件提供现场实时回答这些关键参数
