Abstract:
The United States environmental protection agency (EPA) has introduced a new program to control the air pollution from motor vehicles. This program is called the TIER III and is further limiting the emission of sulfur content in automotive fuels to a maximum of 10 ppm(w) total sulfur content. With the previous TIER 2 program the Performance-Based Measurement System (PBMS) approach was introduced and this will now become mandatory. To comply with the PMBS regulation site precision and accuracy of the analyses technique needs to be monitored and evaluated constantly on site. Typical data will be presented for measuring low level sulfur concentrations in gasoline samples per ASTM D5453 with complying to the new TIER III criteria.
