Jurong Aromatics Corporation Selects Lab Instruments

Jurong Aromatics Corporation (JAC), a major aromatics and oil products manufacturer in Singapore, recently chose PAC (USA) as its provider for lab instruments in its new complex on Jurong Island. PAC will supply several laboratory analytical instruments for Petroleum Testing application (Gas Chromatography, Elemental and Physical Properties) to JAC site, which is expected to process 4.5 million tons per year of condensate feedstock to produce 1.44 million tons per year of aromatics. The new complex is expected to open in 2014.

PAC will be providing a wide array of instruments, including the Antek MultiTek, the only instrument on the market that combines testing for sulphur, nitrogen, and halides all in one, and the Herzog OptiDist, which provides accurate distillation analysis with an easy to use, highly automated system. The most significant part of the order came from the AC Analytical Controls (AC) analysers, which feature the most advanced gas chromatography (GC) instruments. JAC will receive the following AC instruments: Reformulyzer, SIMDIS, Hi-Speed RGA and numerous custom-built GC solutions.

“We are excited to be working with JAC as they open this new major aromatics complex,” says Tim Winfrey, PAC President. “We are confident that the numerous products we are providing will aid JAC in their production and profitability.”
