Anton Paar's Solutions for the Petroleum Industry

With our broad portfolio of analyzing instruments – ranging from portable devices for use in hazardous environments to highly accurate lab instruments and inline equipment for real-time results – we help you analyze various parameters and perform essential tests in just a few minutes. No matter the challenge, we have a solution on hand.

Crude oil analysis
When it comes to optimizing the flow behavior of traded crude oil, you can conduct rheological tests and viscosity measurements in-house so you can fine-tune your product composition without an external partner’s help. From established lab analysis to online sensor instrumentation, we have a range of options for this environment.

Fuel analysis
We help you certify petroleum products for parameters like density, viscosity, distillation behavior, flash and fire point, rheological behavior, oxidation stability, and cold flow properties according to relevant standards. We also have solutions that measure a final product’s mass to ensure profitable trading and fulfill regulations.

Lubricant analysis
New lube blends are needed to minimize environmental impact during production and use, which makes in-depth knowledge about the lube’s properties – like rheological and temperature behavior – essential. We have a range of instruments that you can use in this area (e.g., the SVM viscometer, which provides a 150 % higher throughput than manual glass capillary viscometers).

Bitumen and asphalt analysis
We can help you learn more about your asphalt and bitumen products and comply with international standards. Whether it is determining flammability, elasticity, and bitumen hardness, optimizing bitumen emulsions and stability, performing viscosity and density analysis at different temperatures, or investigating stabilization effects of emulsifiers or additives, we have a solution that fits your needs.
