Bruker (USA) has specifically designed the PIONA+ Analyser to create multi-modal hydrocarbon analysis that is less complicated for the petrochemical analyst. There are many advantages to the instrument, including that it is designed to operate within the parameters set for official methods such as ASTM D-6839, EN 14517, ASTM D 6293, and DIN 5148-1. It is able to operate in multiple-modes to analyse specific groups of compounds including PIONA, PIANO, PINA, PONA, PNA, O-PONA and O-PIONA; and the olefin traps are high capacity (i.e. allow broad range of samples), have high selectivity and a long operating life time. Concurrent heating allows fast analysis with a broader range of samples, for example from C2 to C14. Reporting is undertaken according to standard methods and includes; grouping per hydrocarbon type/per carbon number, weight %, volume %, mol %, TBP, density, Reid Vapor Correlation, RON/MON Correlation, H/C Ratio and Heating Values.
