Title : Shimadzu Customized System GC
Content : In the petroleum industry, where a crude oil sample can contain hundreds of unique components, Gas Chromatography is an invaluable analytical tool. The technique is widely used across the industry to analyse upstream, midstream and downstream samples. This includes both raw materials and refined finished products. As well as detecting components on the parts per thousand (ppt) level, CG is capable of delivering parts per million (ppm) and parts per billion (ppb) readings.
Title : Natural Gas Analysis
Content : Recently, natural gas has been recognized as a clean resournce for energy, in addition to being a raw material for chemical products. Recently a cutting-edge drilling technology has increased the use of shale gas. As the production area diversifies, the need for gas composition analysis has increased. Shimadzu addresses analytical requests with a wide system GC lineup. For analysis of liquified gas, such as LPG, a dedicated injector with a vaporizer is available. Both manual injection and online injection are available. The operation software can automatically calculate needed values, such as indexes, calorific values, etc. Applicable Methods:- ASTM D1945 ASTM D1946, GPA 2261, GPA 2177, GPA 2286, GPA 2186, ISO 6975.
Title : Refinery Gas Analysis (RGA)
Content : Gas compositions produced in refinery plants consist of hydrocarbons, permanent gases, H2S, etc. Analyzing these gases is essential to control the quality of chemical products and plant operation. Shimadzu's RGA systems, available in numerous configurations, are designed to analyze various compositions in a variety of processes. In research and development for petrochemical and its catalysis field, target compounds often contain high-boiling point compounds and isomers. The Shimadzu CERGA makes it possible to precisely analyze those samples. In addition, calorific value calculation software is compliant with various calculation methods such as BTU and ISO-6976. For more information about the report format software. Applicable Methods:- ASTM D7833, ASTM D2163, UOP 539,
Title : DHA Analysis
Content : The purpose of detailed hydrocarbon analysis (DHA) is to determine the bulk hydrocarbon group type composition (PONA: Paraffins, Olefins, Naphthenes and Aromatics) of gasoline and other spark-ignition engine fuels that contain oxygenate blends (Methanol, ethanol, MTBE, ETBE, and TAME) according to ASTM D6730. PONA analyte identification is conducted by matching retention indices with normal hydrocarbon paraffins. However, chromatograms obtained in PONA analyses have an extremely large number of peaks and their analytes may be mislabeled. Without accurate and reproducible retention indices, this may result in erroneous PONA ratios. The GC-2030 incorporates an Advanced Flow Controller that enables highly precise flow control and makes it easy to analyze and identify detailed hydrocarbons. Shimadzu offers DHA analysis conforming to the following methods: ASTM D5134, ASTM D6729, ASTM D6730, and ASTM D6733.
Title : Simulated Distillation Analysis
Content : The Shimadzu simulated distillation system, consisting of a Nexis GC-2030 high-performance capillary gas chromatograph and LabSolutions simulated distillation GC analysis software, meets all applicable ASTM, ISO, EN, and JIS standards. Permitting accurate and highly reproducible analysis of high-boiling components in crude oil samples, it is the optimal system for product quality control and process management in oil refinery plants.
Title : Oxygenates Analysis
Content : A gas chromatograph is used for composition analysis of gasoline and its additives in order to improve fuels' performance. In addition to excellent performance, Shimadzu's GC systems improve productivity. For example, the Nexis GC-2030 system combines three standards into one to save analytical instrument and labor costs.
Title : Trace Sulfur Analysis
Content : Some sulfur compounds are known to be not only hazardous but also catalytic poisons. ppb sulfur analysis is conducted by gas chromatography. The Nexis SCD-2030 is a next-generation sulfur chemiluminescence detection system. The dramatically enhanced sensitivity and reliability, the excellent maintainability, and the automation functions, a first for the industry, will improve laboratory productivity.
