BARTEC BENKE produce the only distillation process analyser compliant that meets the ASTM D86 standard. The DPA-4 allows the user to take control of their data and offers a validation report for quality assurance. The instrument can carry out standard procedures, but also includes BARTEC’s unique Rapid Analyzer Mode (RAM) which can reduce the cycle time by up to 60%, thus enhancing the automatic blending control process. The DPA-4 can operate distillation processes below atmospheric pressure so temperature sensitive samples, such as palm oils, will not degrade. The DPA-4 can also extend its temperature range to cater for higher boiling points.
The DPA-4 complete boiling point is measured in every cycle and the user can choose the measuring points with the instrument’s software. This highly adaptable analyser performs de-coking, failure diagnosis and self-monitoring is also fully integrated, thus alleviating the need for time consuming maintenance. This unit can interface with Modbus/RTU. Modbus/TCP (bidirectional) and remote access is possible via Ethernet (VDSL or FOC is) and it can be programmed via digital and analogue inputs.
