Abstract:
Live crude oil can be challenging to analyze because sample depressurization can result in loss of highly volatile components, compromising sample integrity. Thus, analysis methods where the sample has been exposed to the atmosphere, will provide a light ends content (c1 to C4) that is biased low (ASTM D7900, D2887, D2887, DHA). To address these challenges, ASTM D8003 was developed with the use of a Heated Pressurized Sample Injection System (HPLIS) that injects from a pressurized sample cylinder. An overview of the method and some pointers after five years of use.
