Evaluation of the i-SPEC Q 100 Handheld Biodiesel Analyser in Ten Laboratories
Aug 19 2009
Author: V.C. Gordon on behalf of Paradigm Sensors
A new handheld biodiesel analyser was introduced in 2009 to screen for key critical parameters in biodiesel quality, both for B100, as well as for blends. Fuel quality is the key issue faced by any biodiesel producer, distributor, fleet manager, or fueling station. Fuel is transported through numerous channels before it gets to the consumer, creating many points along the supply chain at which fuel quality may be compromised. Biodiesel quality can deteriorate as it is introduced, stored, diluted, or further distributed and sold. Problems in fuel quality can result in clogged filters and injectors, rough engine operation and wear, ruined fuel injection pumps, crank case oil deterioration and longterm engine damage.
