Aromatics Analysis in Diesel and Jet Fuel by HPLC-RI
Determination of aromatic hydrocarbon types in diesel fuels and distillates – High performance liquid chromatography refractive index detection method
The amount of mono-, di-, tri- and poly aromatics in Middle distillates is subjected to regulations. For the determination of these groups in diesel, petroleum distillates and jet fuel, Joint Analytical Systems (JAS) offers an HPLC system analyser based on Agilent Technologies: a robust and innovative High Performance Liquid Chromatograph.
The Agilent HPLC analyser is able to meet and exceed the specification and the analysis mentioned in ASTM D6591, IP391, EN12916 and ASTM D6379 (Jet fuel).
This analyzer is dedicated to the analysis of aromatics contents in diesel fuels, Aviation fuels and petroleum distillates in the range of 150° to 400°.
The sample is introduced in the system by the automatic Liquid Sampler of by a Manual injector. It is analyzed using Heptane as solvent. The LC column is isothermally heated in a column compartment, detection is done by the Refractive Index Detector (RID). There is a back flush valve installed to backflush the FAME in Diesel.
The Agilent 1260 Infinity Quaternary LC offers the most flexibility for solvent selection and automation in HPLC method development, research and all HPLC applications requiring continuous access to a wide range of solvent choices. The availability to rapidly switch between methods using different solvents and the capability of using binary, ternary or quaternary solvent gradients make the Agilent 1260 Infinity Quaternary LC the most flexible system on the market.
