Abstract:
Elemental analysis is applied in petroleum chemistry to ascertain the quality needed for better engine performance and to help with the identification of vehicle exhaust constituents, harmful to the environment. The Thermo Scientific FlashSmart Elemental Analyzer allows simultaneous CHNS determination by combustion and oxygen determination by pyrolysis. The Elemental Analyzer is equipped with two independent furnaces allowing the installation of two analytical circuits which are used alternatively through the Multi Valve Control Module. The dedicated software calculates automatically the heat values and CO2 emission factor. This paper evaluates the repeatability of the CHNS/O data of petroleum products.
