The PMD 110 micro-distillation analyser from PAC has been helping the petroleum industry do a very fast and reliable analysis of process samples in the refinery as well as fast quality check of samples in compact pipelines, terminals and mobile lab set ups. It has been a work horse for more than a decade, all over the world, as an ASTM approved method (ASTM D7345: standard test method for distillation of petroleum products and liquid fuels at atmospheric pressure)

With the ISL PMD 110 you can do micro-distillation analysis in less than 10 minutes, using only 10 mL of sample. With just one push of a button you can quickly and accurately certify your samples. This revolutionary instrument is now approved in ASTM fuel specifications:

  • D2880: Standard Specification for Gas Turbine Fuel Oils
  • D396: Standard Specification for Fuel Oils
  • D7467: Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oil, Biodiesel Blend (B6 to B20)
  • D3699: Standard Specification for Kerosene

Key Advantages:

  • Tremendous cost savings: 10 mL sample & 10 minutes of testing to distillation numbers
  • Automatics pass/fail notification
  • No pre-testing or programming required
  • Correlates directly to ASTM D86 (groups 0-4), D1160 (B100 Biodiesel), ISO 3405 and IP 123

The ISL PMD is in accordance to ASTM D7345, IP 596 and in perfect correlation with ASTM D86 (groups 0-4), D1160 (B100 Biodiesel), ISO 3405 and IP 123. Based on an innovative micro-distillation method, the PMD 110 determines the boiling range characteristics of any commercially available petroleum product, including light and middle distillates process streams.

Thanks to its compact, robust and portable design, the PMD110 is easily installed in labs and it’s ideal for on-site locations, for refining, for refining process control, fuel blending, research or mobile applications (fuel adulteration monitoring and fast quality screening).
