Abstract:
The Portable Fuel Property Analyzer (PFPA) provides rapid fuel analysis anywhere it’s needed: The plant, port, or field. Analysis is obtained in seconds using only a 2 mL fuel sample. The PFPA uses Near Infrared Spectroscopy combined with Advanced Multivariate Analysis to determine key fuel properties that influence engine performance. The PFPA property determinations were developed and validated according to ASTM D8321 “Standard Practice Validation of the performance of Multivariate Online, At-Line, Field and Laboratory Infrared Spectrophotometers and Raman Spectrometers Based Analyzer Systems” using the property values of a diverse matrix of over 800 fuels from around the world are determined by traditional ASTM methods.
