Determination of Sulphur in ULSD, Biodiesel and Jet Fuel

Petroleum fractions boiling in the range 150°C to around 350°C include jet fuel, kerosine and diesel fuel. These are commonly referred to as middle distillates and are often blended with cracked products from the hydrocracking and hydrogenation of heavy feedstocks.

This application note describes a direct injection technique for the routine analysis of sulphur content in common middle distillate fuels. A Thermo Scientific (USA) iPRO 5000 S Total Sulphur combustion analyser fitted with a Thermo Scientific jetPRO direct spray injector was used to measure the Total Sulphur (TS) content of three ASTM Crosscheck sample types - ultra low sulphur diesel (ULSD), biodiesel and jet fuel.
