Abstract:
New Low Sulfur Analytical Requirements
The permitted levels of sulfur in various fuel samples continues to drop due to EPA Regulations, creating a new series of challenges for the manufacturers of analytical instruments to solve. Most of these petroleum streams are relatively pure, but often additives are introduced which complicates the analysis. In these cases, the Limit of Detection of the method becomes a less challenging issue than the effects of interfering elements. Examples of these effects will be illustrated for real world samples run on commercially available instruments. These case-by-case examples will be discussed to illustrate possible solutions.
