Until now, this analytical method has been carried out with expensive, lab based instruments. A2 Technologies’ breakthroughs in sampling, instrument design and easy to use, purpose-driven software enables this powerful technology to provide instantaneous, on site biodiesel analysis.
FTIR spectroscopy is the ASTM approved method for determining % biodiesel FAME (fatty-acid methyl ester) in diesel fuel. Until now, this analytical method has been carried out with expensive, lab based instruments. A2 Technologies’ breakthroughs in sampling, instrument design and easy to use, purpose-driven software enables this powerful technology to provide instantaneous, on site biodiesel analysis.
ASTM D7371-07 and European Union EN 14078 specify a FTIR method for the determining the % biodiesel in diesel
2 Techologies PAL analyzers are designed to be used in the field or in the lab for immediate results:
• get % biodiesel measurements where and when you need them
• precise and accurate answers every time
• no need to wait for results!
• simple software operation, no maintenance required
• compact benchtop or battery-operated portable system available
• innovative sample analysis methods affords fast, low level % biodiesel analysis
• our PAL systems are priced right
Advantages of A2’s instruments:
Accurate Analysis with Exceptional Limits of Detection and Range
To 250 ppm (measure to 0.025% biodiesel in petrodiesel)
One system handles the entire biodiesel range (i.e., to 20%) while also capable of handling the ppm range.
Ease of Use/Speed
Analysis time of less than 2 minutes from sample introduction to sample clean-up
TumblIR sampling interface makes analysis by IR transmission analysis remarkably straightforward
Software and user interface are highly intuitive and visual - “one click” software to % biodiesel measurement report and out-of-spec warning message
Reliability
Analyzer components designed from the ground-up for operation in demanding environments
Combination of ease-of-use and design ruggedness translates to more accurate answers in less time, since there is far less chance of operator error and analyzer malfunction.
Flexibility
Bench-top analyzers or battery operated portable systems available
TumblIR handles a much broader range of common %biodiesel concentrations
PDA or computer operation
TumblIR (patent pending):
Coupled with the excellent performance characteristics of the PAL analyzers, provides required lower range of % biodiesel measurement
- One sampling interface covers the parts-per-million to parts-per-hundred analysis range (from 0.025% to 20%)
Significantly reduces the risk of user error when placing sample on analyzer
- reproducible pathlength means reliable answers
Far easier to use and far easier to clean than standard transmission cells
- faster sample analysis time and greater measurement accuracy
1. Revolutionizes how biodiesel transmission analysis is carried out
2. Easy sample placement
3. Highly reproducible pathlength
4. Fast and easy to use
5. Simple to clean
6. Minimum solvent required for cleaning
 Measurement of 1% Biodiesel in Diesel Fuel from 0.025% to 20% Range
