Laboratory measurement systems for quality control and emissions reporting.
We install and configure laboratory instruments for the QC laboratories of refineries and petrochemical plants: analysis of halogens, sulphur, and nitrogen, sample preparation for subsequent elemental analysis, thermal processes, and reference materials and standards.
Halogen, sulphur and nitrogen analysis in the laboratory
Nittoseiko instruments for the determination of chlorine, fluorine, bromine, sulphur and nitrogen in fuels, naphtha and petrochemical products, including per ASTM D5453 (sulphur) and ASTM D5808 (chlorine). Sub-ppm levels for QC and certification.
Sample preparation in a laboratory environment
Microwave digestion from Preekem for reproducible sample preparation in the laboratory ahead of elemental analysis. A traceable workflow for digesting raw materials, products and catalysts with comparable results over time.
Reference materials and standards
Analytichem supplies certified reference materials and calibration standards for petrochemical matrices, for traceable calibration of ICP, AAS and dedicated analysers in the QC laboratory.
Drying, incubation and climate
Memmert drying ovens, vacuum ovens and climate chambers for sample conditioning, dry matter determination and ageing tests of petrochemical products and packaging materials.
High temperatures and ashing
Nabertherm muffle and chamber furnaces for ashing, loss on ignition and thermal treatment of catalysts, coke/soot determination and other routine methods in the refinery QC laboratory.
