Abstract:

Total sulfur content in fuels is a critical measurement with several published methods designed to ensure accurate quality standards. The majority of these are based on the use of Ultraviolet Fluorescence (UVF) or X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) technologies to detect and measure the amount of sulfur in the sample. Excimer UV Fluorescence (EUVF) provides a unique approach to the total sulfur measurement in a variety of liquid and gas samples, including fuels and flare vent gas. It offers high precision, combined with fast analysis and, compared with other emission sources, the excimer source is subject to much lower levels of interference from nitrogen in the sample.
