A versatile and precise analyser for quality control, catalyst characterisation and development and environmental compliance at petrochemical, fuel and lubricant facilities

In the fuels and petrochemical sectors, precise knowledge of elemental composition is crucial to ensure product quality, optimise processes and comply with environmental legislation.

With the Mol CS1000 Elemental Analyser, Mol Analytik GmbH offers a robust tool for the specific quantification of the elemental components of a sample by measuring the concentration of carbon (C) and sulphur (S) present by means of non-dispersive infrared absorption. This is made possible by up to 4 independent, selective state-of-the-art, wide-range infrared detectors.

The Mol CS1000 is used for a variety of applications in the petrochemical industry, including: quality control of raw materials and products. The Mol CS1000 enables the elemental composition of crude oil and other raw materials to be checked, thus ensuring consistency and quality in downstream processes. It also enables the elemental analysis of end-use products such as fuels, lubricants and polymers to ensure that product specifications are met and comply with legal standards.

The Mol CS1000 is an ideal tool for the development and optimisation of catalysts used in petrochemical processes, by providing end users with information about the elemental composition and catalytic activity. Understanding the elemental composition of catalysts helps to improve performance, longevity and efficiency of catalytic reactions.

This versatile analyser can also play a crucial role in environmental compliance within the petrochemical industry. By quantifying elemental pollutants and trace metals, for example in soil samples, it helps to assess the impact of petrochemical plants’ activities on the environment and to ensure compliance within local and international legal limits.

The Mol CS1000 supports research and development efforts in the petrochemical industry by providing insights into the specific elemental composition of new materials, intermediates and additives. This information facilitates innovation, process optimization and the development of new types of products with tailored properties.
