AC Analytical Controls (AC) Introduces the New AC All in One Biodiesel Analyser to Determine the Quality of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) Blending Stock for Diesel Fuel

New AC Biodiesel Analyser

Globally, public authorities promote the use of blends of biofuel and

conventional fuel through directives and by setting ambitious goals.

Standardisation bodies, such as ASTM and CEN, have already published

methods that outline specifications for biodiesel as blending component

and test methods are available to determine the quality of the biodiesel.

All-In-One-Solution

AC Analytical Controls developed an all in one chromatographic solution

that complies with all ASTM & EN test methods listed in the biodiesel

specifications EN 14214 & ASTM D 6751.

System Description

The AC Biodiesel System uses the new Agilent Technologies 7890A gas

chromatograph equipped with two capillary columns, Electronic

Pneumatics Control (EPC) for setting flow and pressure parameters, one

split/splitless inlet, one on-column inlet, an additional column oven module and two Flame Ionisation Detectors (FID). Optional are the Automatic Liquid Sampler and the Headspace Sampler.

Features & Benefits

The All In One application combines all current chromatographic ASTM &

EN methods in one GC: EN 14103, EN 14105, EN 14106, EN 14110 & ASTM

D 6584 and complies with EN 14214 and ASTM D6751 biodiesel specifications. The software is compatible with various chromatographic

data systems such as Atlas, ChemStation and EZchrom. The application is

completely tested and calibrated according to specified methods and

includes multiple sets of calibration components, internal standards and

reagents.

A qualified support engineer installs system on-site and familiarises users with operation. A one year warranty covers hardware and application. The analysers include free helpdesk assistance for any hardware or software related questions and an optional on-line remote support by LAN connection is available.
