Sulfur Analysis in Automotive, Heating, and Jet Fuels by ASTM D7220
Feb 19 2020
Sulfur concentrations are strictly regulated in automotive fuels. The current sulfur limit is at a level of 10 to 15 ppm in many countries around the world and others are to follow. ASTM D7220 defines norm-compliant sulfur and ultra-low sulfur analysis in automotive, heating, and jet fuels. Accurate and precise monitoring of these sulfur levels, refinery process streams on levels much below 10 ppm, leads to cost-effectiveness and pays back immediately.
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is the perfect method for this application: Fast and easy-to-use with straightforward sample preparation. The benchtop EDXRF S2 POLAR from Bruker masters all the requirements for S analysis in automotive, heating, and jet fuels fully norm-compliant to ASTM D7220 and ISO 13032. Higher S levels in all kinds of petroleum products are covered with ASTM D4294. For all these norms are factory pre-installed methods available which allow norm-compliance analysis immediately after installation.
