Refinery
Through all stages of the refinery process X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) is used for the determination of elements from the crude oil, intermediates to final products like e.g. gasoline, automotive fuel and kerosene. Accurate and precise Sulphur analysis down to lowest trace levels is actually the most important task in the hydrocarbon processing Industry (HPI). To avoid serious effects on the catalysts, corrosion on production accessories and environmental problems the sulphur concentration needs to be reduced consequently within all stages of the process. Legislation all over the world demands reduction of the sulphur levels in all kind of fuels close to zero level, an analytical challenge in daily routine process and quality control in a refinery. Wavelength dispersive-X-ray fluorescence Analysis (WDXRF) perfectly meets the requirements of these analytical tasks.
X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) in the refinery – Bruker AXS provides the perfect Solution for process and quality control
