Fast, accurate and compliant: meet QC standards with advanced combustion analysis

When regulatory compliance and ultra-low detection are non-negotiable, the HORIBA XPLORER family of combustion elemental analysers delivers the performance you need. Designed specifically for the petroleum, petrochemical, and chemical industries, these analysers provide the speed, accuracy, and reliability required for today's demanding quality control environments.

The XPLORER series of analysers support critical applications across a wide range of industries, from routine quality control to advanced R&D. They enable precise fuel quality control by monitoring sulphur and nitrogen contaminants in gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and other petroleum products, while helping organisations meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations for sulphur emissions. In petrochemical processing, they support optimization of refining operations and catalyst performance, and in chemical manufacturing they deliver reliable quality assurance for products and intermediates.

The analysers also provide accurate sulphur and nitrogen measurement in LPG samples, enable effective characterization of oil fractions and other feedstock materials, and support product development and research efforts that require fast, precise elemental analysis for nitrogen and sulphur determinations.

XPLORER-NS: simultaneous nitrogen and sulphur analysis
