Analysis of P, S, Cl in biodiesel

Phosphorus in biodiesel, which comes from lipids in the fuel, is harmful to diesel engines, so control of phosphorus content is crucial. Sulfur content in the raw material is very low, which means that the content of sulfur in biodiesel is also very low. However, since the sulfur contents in regular gasoline is regulated for environmental reasons, the content of sulfur in biodiesel oil is regulated as well.

Precision data from the Rigaku Mini-Z Sulfur Analyzer for ultra-low sulfur levels in fuels

Today's petrochemical market has been regulated to produce lower sulfur levels in all variety of fuels. This legislation has impacted manufacturers of diesel and all grade fuels that keep the U.S. infrastructure functioning. The current ranges for sulfur content in all grade fuels by WDXRF analysis are listed below:

Phase identification in the oil drilling industry

The oil drilling industry can encounter a wide variety of samples, including rocks, scales, cements, cuttings, and muds throughout the drilling process. X-ray diffraction (XRD) is an essential tool for phase identification analysis of these commonly identified solids in the oil field.

In-situ analysis: High temperature · Low temperature · Variable humidity · Reactive gases · Combined XRD/DSC

The ability to measure samples under specific non-ambient conditions is essential in the research and development of many advanced materials. The Ultima IV has a wide range of fully integrated non-ambient configurations, including the world's only commercially available combined XRD/DSC system.
