Benfield solution monitoring Through the Benfield process, vanadium is used to assist in the removal of CO2 and sulphur. As part of this process, Va5+ is reduced to Va4+. By monitoring this ratio, it is possible to maximise the use of the Benfield solution without endangering the removal process by...Read More
Due to NIR analysis requiring no sample preparation and being non-destructive, many polymer and plastic attributes can be measured rapidly inline, online, atline or offline for qualitative as well as quantitative parameters. NIR spectroscopy in the polymer industry In this application bulletin we presents some examples of NIR applications and...Read More
MEP Instrument has installed a new analyser in a Chlor-Alkali plant in NSW to monitor hardness in saturated brine samples. The analyser was tailor-made to fit in the challenging environment while constantly providing accurate results with the minimum maintenance. It has been on-duty since March 2017 and provides precise and...Read More
Quality control of catalysts with the Camsizer P4 from Retsch Technology The analysis of size and shape plays an important role for the quality control of catalysts. Sieve analysis is often used for this, however, it only provides the required size information for spherical particles. Rods, for example, pass the mesh with a particular orientation which makes...Read More
Dependable online, inline, and atline solutions for your waste processing needs. Wastewater must be treated so it can be released back into the environment without adverse effects on an ecosystem. Especially in the food and agricultural sectors, carbohydrates and many other organic compounds are introduced from washing procedures and other processing steps. Discharging this nutrient-rich effluent without...Read More
The new ASTM method D8045 demonstrates the superiority of thermometric titration for complex petroleum samples, as it provides for better reproducibility of results, is significantly faster, and consumes less reagent than the commonly used method D664. This method requires no sensor maintenance aside from a solvent rinse, needs no hydration...Read More
Amines have been used for many years to remove acid gases from natural gas. Amine systems have been the workhorse of the gas treating industry for many years and the push is harder than ever for optimum performance and reliability. Along with proper maintenance of equipment, proper care of the...Read More
Who can do titration in your lab? Everyone (with Metrohm’s brand-new OMNIS system). Before OMNIS, titration sometimes meant exposure to hazardous liquids. Not any longer: The patented OMNIS Liquid Adapter allows you to exchange reagents without opening a single bottle! Learn more! -> Learn how OMNIS makes titration MORE EFFICIENT!...Read More
Water occurs as a contaminant in virtually all petroleum products. It reduces lubricant properties, promotes microbial oil degradation, leads to sludge formation in the tank, and promotes corrosion of ferrous and nonferrous metals. While at higher temperatures water boils and contributes to a partial degreasing, temperatures below freezing point lead...Read More
Optimised separation on wide range in combination with alkaline and alkaline earth metals. Petroleum and natural gas products can contain acid gases such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide resulting in a “sour” product. These acid gases are corrosive and undesirable in final gas products. Alkanolamines are used in refineries...Read More
The IC Application Note CIC–18 presents the determination of the halogens in a liquefied gas sample. Download the application note to learn more. Combustion Ion Chromatography (CIC) extends the range of ion chromatography to all types of combustible samples. The focus here is primarily on the simultaneous determination of the...Read More
Metrohm has installed process analysers in several LNG plants worldwide. To ensure the quality of the LNG produced, a robust and reliable process monitoring is required. Metrohm Process Analytics has installed worldwide several process analyser systems to monitor water and salt content in LNG (condensate). The Metrohm-Applikon Analyzer performs Karl Fischer titration...Read More
