Overcoming Challenges in LPG Analysis – Methods and Calibration Strategies for Better Results in C/N/S/Cl Ultra-Trace Analysis in LPGs

Sponsors

Date: 14:00:00 - May 29 2019

Speakers: Dr. Angela Gröbel

Moderators: Tom Lynch CChem FRSC

Determining sulfur, nitrogen, chloride or carbon in liquefied pressurized gases (LPGs) is challenging for many quality control labs in the petro industry. There are safety and cross contamination issues in sample preparation and dosing, the risks of incomplete combustion and deflagration as well as data evaluation challenges for ultra-trace applications due to the limited availability of suitable calibration standards.

In this eLearning session, Dr. Angela Gröbel, elemental analysis expert from Analytik Jena, will be presenting a reliable solution for overcoming these challenges. From sample preparation to data evaluation, Angela will show how you can maximize safety, get faster and more precise results for trace and ultra-trace elements with better calibration strategies and simplify the overall workflow for more efficiency.

Key learning objectives:

Overview of potential risks of analysing LPGs
How to minimize effects that influence results in a negative way
How to determine trace and ultra-trace elements more easily with better calibration strategies
A quick guide on what to consider while choosing the right analyser
