Wilks Enterprise has introduced a portable mid-IR analyser for measuring the biodiesel blend ratio in diesel fuel
With the InfraCal Filtometer a small amount of petroleum ether extract is analysed in minutes.
This new application for the InfraCal Filtometer uses an ATR (attenuated total reflection) crystal and fixed filters to measure C-H (hydrocarbon) absorbance.
The extracted nonionics of the unsulphonated matter all possess a hydrocarbon chain.
An aliquot (50ul) of petroleum ether is deposited onto the crystal and the InfraCal measures C-H absorbance proportional to the amount deposited down to 0.1%.
After solvent evaporation (about 3 minutes), the C-H concentration is displayed on the analyser digital display in less than 30 seconds.
The InfraCal Filtometer weighs less than 5 lbs, is a 6.5 x 6.5 x 5 inch cube in size, and requires just 12 volts of dc power for operation.
It is ideal for use directly in the manufacturing area or in the QC laboratory.
User-friendly operation makes it easy for production personnel to operate with minimal training. Request a free brochure from Wilks Enterprise ...
