PerkinElmer is hosting a series of four webinars featuring innovations in standard and new ASTM methods. Each presentation in the series will be hosted by a different industry professional, offering broad scope and diverse views. Seize the opportunity to learn about improvements to accuracy, productivity and ease of use for the petroleum industry. We invite you to participate in this educational series beginning March 26th. 

These presentations will include: 

'Leveraging New GC Technologies in Standard and New ASTM methods improving productivity and accuracy' 

March 26th, 2015; 11am EDT

Presented by Lee Marotta, Sr Field Application Scientist, PerkinElmer.

• Instrument technological advancements for petroleum applications;
• How these advancements improves accuracy, precision, productivity and ease of use. Methods D7900 and the new capillary method for D3606 will be provided as examples;
• Why the 'merge' simulated distillation method is needed.

'C1 to C100 boiling point distribution of crude oil with speciation of C1 to biomarker phytane, on one gas chromatograph' 

April 2nd, 2015; 11am EDT

Presented by Chris Goss, Researcher, Alberta Innovates Technology Futures.

• Improving boiling point distribution accuracy by resolving the CS2 quenching problem found in D7169 using one gas chromatograph;
• Enhancing speciation to C30 and quantitating up to C8 while achieving full crude boiling point distribution on one gas chromatograph;
• Using advanced, easy to use and versatile micro fluidic technology.

'Fuel Dilution and Glycol Contamination Determinations for In-service oils by Gas Chromatography' 

April 9th, 2015; 11am EDT

Presented by Ashley Gavic, Quality Analyst, Caterpillar Inc.

• Why periodic testing of oil is important;
• A faster, easier, more cost-effective and highly accurate way of using Gas Chromatography to determine the levels of these contaminates in your in-service fluids enhancing productivity and reducing need for multiple instruments;
• That both tests are peer reviewed ASTM methods that every lab has access to.

'How to Accurately Measure the light ends in Live Crudes: A Proposed ASTM Method' 

April 16th, 2015; 11am EDT

Presented by Dan Wispinski, Portfolio Manager, Alberta Innovates Technology Futures.

• Speciating and accurately quantitating methane to hexane in live crude oils including light and tight shale oils;
• Obtain cut point fraction intervals to C24;
• Sampling live crude oil to maintain front end integrity.
