2 1 of better analysis counts Elemental Analysis Advanced Rapid sulfur measurement plus 12 elements from P to Zn. ASTM D4294 ISO 8754 IP 336

3 2 of Advanced Software and Data Management Petra offers the latest software features and data management for simple, intuitive operation. Store up to 30 calibration data sets and hundreds of sample measurement configurations at a time Data output via Ethernet connection to LIMS or transfer over USB On-screen averaging allows users to quickly check performance levels across multiple measurements Data history stores results for 10k measurements PRESET MEASUREMENT CONFIGURATIONS ADDITIONAL MATRICES AVAILABLE Advanced Analysis with HDXRF Petra is powered by High Definition X-ray Fluorescence (HDXRF ) technology: an elemental analysis technique offering significantly enhanced detection performance over traditional XRF technology. This technique applies state-of-the-art monochromating and focusing optics, enabling dramatically higher signal-to-background ratio compared to traditional polychromatic X-ray Fluorescence. Figure 1 shows the basic configuration of HDXRF and its use of focused monochromatic excitation. Figure 1: HDXRF Technology

4 3 of Advanced Precision The Petra series complies with ASTM D4294 and ISO 8754 for sulfur analysis in various hydrocarbon matrices. Petra 4294 delivers precise sulfur analysis with limits of detection (LOD) as low as 2.6 ppm. Petra MAX delivers a sulfur LOD as low as 5.7 ppm with rapid monitoring of critical elements like Ni, V, and Fe at sub-ppm levels. Applications Hydrocarbons Water Catalysts The blending of crude oils from different sources has become more commonplace within the industry to meet specifications for the classification of sweet crude oil. The introduction of new crudes brings new challenges, like higher concentrations of metals such as nickel (Ni), vanadium (V), and iron (Fe). Ni and V are known to rapidly deactivate process catalysts in the catalytic cracker (FCC) and hydrotreaters. In response, many refiners have incorporated Ni and V analysis into their routine crude assay, and pipelines have set specifications for Ni and V in their common stream sweet crude. Fe is introduced into crude oil from corrosion byproducts during transportation and can lead to pump and exchanger fouling, and off-specification coke. The data in Table 1 represents ten separate aliquots of crude oil that were analyzed for 300 seconds by Petra MAX to demonstrate the advanced precision achievable with HDXRF technology.

5 4 of Advanced Workflow Petra boasts an innovative autosampler design and advanced software features for a more flexible and efficient workflow. PRESET YOUR MEASUREMENT CONFIGURATIONS Customizable measurement configurations allow you to select the correct calibration curve, measurement time, and sample matrix for a foolproof process. ELIMINATE DATA ERRORS Eliminate data errors with QR-coded sample cups. The sample cup is scanned on the measurement configuration screen, and again when it reaches the measurement chamber to ensure the correct sample name and measurement parameters are paired with results, every time. REDUCE IDLE TIME WITH CONTINUOUS SAMPLE LOAD The 8-position sample slide offers continuous loading, allowing you to add urgent samples to the queue even during analysis. How it Works 2 Use integrated scanner or 1 onscreen keyboard to enter sample name SAMPLE A 2 Scan sample QR-code and insert into autosampler 3 Select preset measurement configuration 4 QR-code is scanned in measurement chamber to retrieve sample name and measurement configuration Measurement begins automatically. Upon completion, sample is ejected and next in queue is measured. The Autosampler is an optional add-on feature, and can be added to an existing Petra 4294 or Petra MAX analyzer. QR/barcode scanner included with purchase. QR-coded cups are not mandatory - standard XRF cups may be used with the analyzer.

6 5 of Advanced Sample Introduction PROTECT VALUABLE COMPONENTS Petroleum laboratories depend on reliable, robust analytical solutions for their fast-paced environment. Petra was designed to meet these needs with an innovative sample introduction system that directs accidental spills to a drip tray and away from valuable components. Petra Sample Chamber with Drip Tray A sample is placed into the Petra sample chamber and when closed, it is turned on its side. This innovative design ensures that any accidental sample leaks are directed to a drip tray - to be easily removed and disposed. Competitor Sample Chamber Most competitor sample chamber designs offer a thin film covering the cell window to protect the detector and X-ray tube from accidental sample leaks. If this thin film tears, the sample will leak onto the detector and X-ray tube - a very costly repair. X-ray Detector Water or Particulates ELIMINATE CENTRIFUGE Interfering elements like Si, Ca, Cl, Fe and water are commonly present in crude oil and will settle to the bottom of a sample over time. These interferences can absorb the X-ray signal and reduce the concentration of sulfur reported. To prevent biased results, many laboratories centrifuge the samples prior to analysis, which increases the amount of processing and time it takes to perform the measurement. Petra s sample chamber rotates the sample on its side providing a clear measurement window for more accurate results, and eliminating the need to centrifuge.

High sulfur levels will typically depress the chlorine measurement result during XRF analysis. Clora 2XP is able to measure the chlorine and sulfur concentrations simultaneously, and the sulfur counts information is then used to automatically correct the chlorine measurement.

13 12 of Benchtop and Online Chlorine Analysis Monitoring chlorine for corrosion mitigation is critical during refining processes. Chlorine can poison expensive catalysts and lead to corrosion in overhead or reactor effluent systems. Clora analyzers offer breakthrough analytical solutions for the determination of chlorine in liquid hydrocarbon samples such as aromatics, distillates and heavy fuels, and aqueous solutions. Advanced Analysis with MWDXRF Monochromatic Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (MWDXRF) utilizes state-of-the-art focusing and monochromating optics to increase excitation intensity and dramatically improve signal-to-background ratio compared to traditional WDXRF instruments. This enables significantly improved detection limits, precision, and a reduced sensitivity to matrix effects. A monochromatic and focused primary beam excites the sample and secondary characteristic fluorescence X-rays are emitted from the sample. A second monochromating optic selects the chlorine characteristic X-rays and directs these X-rays to the detector. MWDXRF is a direct measurement technique and does not require consumable gasses or sample conversion delivering robust and low-maintenance analyzers with dramatically lower detection limits and faster response times. POLYCHROMATIC X-RAYS FROM SOURCE SAMPLE MONOCHROMATIC EXCITATION X-RAYS FROM SAMPLE OPTIC 1 OPTIC 2 DETECTOR SELECTED MONOCHROMATIC SAMPLE X-RAYS Eliminate Particle Settling with Accu-flow Accu-flow technology helps to minimize the effects of particulate settling, which is common when testing for chlorides in crude oil using XRF in the laboratory. Over a typical measurement cycle, the heavier particles can settle to the bottom of the sample cup and cause higher than normal results. Accu-flow pushes the sample through the system keeping the sample uniform, delivering a result that better reflects crude streams as they exist in the refinery. Accu-flow is available with Clora benchtop analyzers. 15 Tech Valley Drive East Greenbush, New York USA PH FAX info@xos.com XOS all rights reserved.
