New Standard Helps Meet Need for Hydrocarbon Impurity Testing
Oct 01 2017
A new standard (D8098) aims to meet an industry need for testing impurities in hydrocarbons. Specifically, the test method addresses concerns with impurities in monomer feedstocks found in ethylene and propylene.
“The value of ethylene and propylene is partially based on purity, making accurate, low-level analysis and standardisation important,” says member Shannon Coleman, an application scientist at Agilent Technologies. “This method analyses permanent gasses such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, methane, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide to levels as low as parts-per-billion.”
Ethylene and propylene monomer producers, as well as polymer producers, will find the new standard most useful.
