Take Advantage of Better PIONA Analysis   

Changes in quality standards and environmental law over the last decade has meant that engine fuel producers now have to comply with much higher quality specifications and more stringent environmental regulations than ever before. As a result a balance is required between maintaining the fuel performance by adding RON/MON improving components like iso-octanes and (bio-based) oxygenates and reducing environmentally harmful components such as benzene and toluene. Optimisation of this process results in a concerted move toward instrumentation and methodology capable of characterising petroleum fractions, including intermediates and finished products, providing their molecular composition in specific detail.
