S Analyser with Vapour Phase Processor (VPP) TM (SA4000-3 & SA4015-0) ASTM D7621 Appendix X1; IP 570 Procedure A Measurement range from 0-250 mg/kg S (0-250 ppm S) in the liquid phase Vapour Phase

in the distribution system Critical Measurement method for Product Safety and Release The S Analyser was developed with Lloyd s Register s Fuel Oil and Bunker Analysis Service (FOBAS) along with

The VPP accessory was subsequently developed to eliminate the effects of chemical interference and to enable the analyser to address a broader range of petroleum products.

The S Analyser is an excellent tool for supporting product Quality Control and safety ensuring product is within approved specification.

2 S Analyser with Vapour Phase Processor (VPP) TM (SA & SA4015-0) ASTM D7621 Appendix X1; IP 570 Procedure A Measurement range from mg/kg S (0-250 ppm S) in the liquid phase Vapour Phase Processor proven to eliminate effects of chemical interference A non chemical method, no wet chemistry involved Small lab bench footprint, fully portable operation Suitable for monitoring crude oils in the distribution system Critical Measurement method for Product Safety and Release The S Analyser was developed with Lloyd s Register s Fuel Oil and Bunker Analysis Service (FOBAS) along with support of other major international oil companies to offer rapid measurement of S in petroleum products. The VPP accessory was subsequently developed to eliminate the effects of chemical interference and to enable the analyser to address a broader range of petroleum products. The Crude Oil Test Kit (SA4021-0) allows the S Analyser to be used for testing Crudes and provides a highly cost effective test giving repeatable results even at low gas levels. The S Analyser is an excellent tool for supporting product Quality Control and safety ensuring product is within approved specification. It is also ideal for both product remediation treatment of feedstock components and off-spec products with fast repeat sample measurement capability. S is efficiently purged from the test sample by a combination of heat and agitation, and is measured by an advanced electrochemical sensor. The instrument offers a cost effective solution for S measurement no costly chemicals are required and there is no need for analytical preparation by an expert chemist.
