Petrochemical regulations are becoming stricter demanding lower levels of quantification for key elements such as sulfur (S), Pb etc. Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed PetroilQuantâ¢, a unique precalibration program to help analysts in the petrochemical and petroleum industries meet these requirements.
PetroilQuant is designed for use in conjunction with Thermo Scientific ARL OPTIMâX and ARL ADVANTâX WDXRF spectrometers where, thanks to IntelliPowerâ¢, no water cooler is needed when analyzing at 1200W and 2500W. PetroilQuant is capable of quantifying up to 24 elements in a variety of automotive fuels, lubricants and heavy residual oils both quickly and costeffectively.
In addition to sulfur in automotive fuels, PetroilQuant covers other elements generally needed for blending control of fresh lubricants such as Sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg), Silicon (Si), Phosphorus (P), Chlorine (Cl), Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Zinc (Zn), Molybdenum (Mo), Bromine (Br) and Barium (Ba).
PetroilQuant requires no analytical expertise and provides a "ready to run" analytical package for beginners as well as advanced users of Thermo Scientific XRF instruments.
