Petroleum analysis by XRF
For the quantification of everything from heavy elements in crude oil, to additive packages in lubricants, to sulfur in gasoline and diesel, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a well established technique for the petroleum and petrochemical industries. Because of new sulfur regulations for road fuels, Rigaku now offers a dedicated low-cost benchtop WDXRF sulfur analyzer: the Mini-Z Sulfur Analyzer.
Rigaku's Petro-Pak™ Application Package* is designed to implement ASTM 2622, ASTM 5059 and ASTM 6334 compliant methods for all hydrocarbon based fuels on specific Rigaku instruments.
In addition to these products, Rigaku's technology and know-how provide a number of unique solutions for this application category:
- Inverted or standard optics depending on application
- Optimized sample holders for gasoline
- No digestion or wet chemistry prep
- Low detection limits
- Excellent light element (low-Z) sensitivity
- Analysis without standards (or few)
