Active Spectrum introduces new On-line and Real-time analysis of crude oil, petrochemicals and lubricants

21 Oct, 2015

Published over 10 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Measurement and testing.

Active Spectrum introduces a new, rapid test for asphaltene concentration in crude oil using our Micro-ESR spectrometer technology. This quick asphaltene test conforms to ASTM D3279 and can measure asphaltene levels down to 0.05% in approximately one minute with no solvents and minimal sample preparation. 

Active Spectrum’s Micro-ESR is also used for real time monitoring of polymerization in the petrochemicals industry. Contact us to learn more about rapid, real-time measurement of polymerization and petrochemicals additives. Measurements include polymerization inhibitors for styrene, butadiene, ethylene, acrylates and related monomers.

Active Spectrum is the world leader in the measurement of free radicals and antioxidants in oil, petrochemicals and lubricants. All our new publications in this field can be found here.
