Intelligent Portable Fuel Analysis

Grabner Instruments, a subsidiary of AMETEK, Inc. has introduced a new versatile FTIR spectrometer for the fully automatic measurement of gasoline, diesel and biofuel blends. The MINISCAN IRXpert is the first completely portable FTIR fuel analyzer that combines superior scanning range and resolution with the advantages of mid-IR and near-IR spectroscopy for highest measurement accuracy. A comprehensive fuel test can be performed within minutes, either in the laboratory or directly in the field. The MINISCAN IRXpert comes fully configured with the ability to test more than 40 important parameters, such as oxygenates, aromatics, benzene, octane boosters and cetane improvers, and biodiesel content. A number of key fuel properties, such as octane and cetane number, vapor pressure and distillation properties are accurately predicted by utilizing a worldwide sample database and by using the information derived from a high-resolution infrared spectrum scan. The MINISCAN IRXpert is designed as an intelligent, self-learning analyzer that allows users to analyze an unlimited number of new fuel parameters at the push of a button.
