Highly sophisticated distillation analysers provide perfect precision form the very first drop

One of the most crucial measurements to be taken during while refining crude oil into petroleum products, including fuel, is atmospheric distillation. This critical measurement parameter has significant financial implications as it helps operators to optimise output from the distillation tower and therefore the final products’ volume.

The Diana 300 distillation analyser, from Anton Paar is an entry-level alternative to the high-range Anton Paar Diana 700 that offers end users the same fuel distillations range and safety levels, to provide perfect precision every time. The Diana’s testing procedure and results comply fully with ASTM D86, ASTM D850, ASTM D1078, ISO 3405, IP 123, IP 195, JIS K 2254, and GOST 2177 and both Diana analysers cater to a variety of fuel samples including 100 % fossil and blended fuels, such as bio-fuels.

The Diana 700 maximises throughput because of its accelerated liquid-free Peltier cooling to enable uninterrupted measurements. Both Diana 300 and Diana 700 feature a fire sensor as well as an internal fire extinguisher, initiated automatically or at the push of a button, to ensure operational safety. Both of the Diana instruments are excellent tools for be used at tank terminals, refineries, transportation companies, and independent labs, in fact all organisations that handle fuels, can benefit considerably from these highly advanced devices.
