Advanced X-Ray Transmission (XRT) Gauge for Crude Oil, Marine Bunker Fuel and Blending Operations

Rigaku’s (USA) NEX XT is the next generation process gauge for high-level sulphur measurement (0.02% to 6% S) of crude, bunker fuel, fuel oils, and other highly viscous hydrocarbons, including residuums.

This versatile, compact and robust X-Ray Transmission (XRT) process gauge is specifically optimised for the sulphur analysis needs of refineries, pipelines, blending operations, bunkering terminals and other storage facilities. Applications include bunker fuel blending to meet MARPOL Annex VI sulphur restrictions, interface detection of different grade fuels delivered via pipelines, refinery feedstock blending and monitoring, and the quality monitoring of crude at remote collection and storage facilities.

XRT can measure sulphur (S) from 200 ppm to 6 wt% at up to 1480 psig and 200°C and offers a data update every 30 seconds. This user-friendly system has reduced standards requirements, no routine maintenance, sample condition, recovery system or radioisotopes Among its other key features are a simplified user interface, automatic density compensation, automatic water compensation, password protection, and standard platform for communicating sulphur, density, and water content to a plant-wide DCS.
