Abstract:
One source of harmful emissions in the petrochemical industry stems from sulfur, which can affect catalyst productivity, machinery corrosion, and cost-evaluation of products. This makes it necessary to quantify pre- and post-treatment sulfur from sub-ppm to percent concentrations. Traditionally, instruments faced challenges analyzing sulfur concentrations across this range, along with managing the organic load of varying viscosities. Utilizing the multi EA 5100 combustion furnace technology, featuring a wide linear range detector and soot prevention technology, customer and manufacturer have paired to confront known challenges involving the analysis of sulfur and present solutions to improve detection limits and repeatability of analysis.
