MOD-6400 XRT Total Sulfur Analyzer
Total sulfur is an important parameter to monitor and control raw materials, intermediates, and/or final products for process optimization and blending in bunkering terminals, refineries, pipelines, and storage facilities. An online analysis of total sulfur can be deployed at many points in the process and provides the means to monitor conversion processes to produce the most valuable products without giveaway.
The XRT (X-ray Transmission) measuring method implemented by the MOD-6400 Total Sulfur process analyzer is the best market-available solution for sulfur content analysis in heavy petroleum products. Other market available techniques used for sulfur analysis are based on injection techniques and conversion methods like UV fluorescence or gas chromatography, which are limited with the final boiling point exceeding 450 degC. Density and temperature measurements which are provided as a part of the MOD-6400 Total Sulfur analyzer, are used for correlation of the online results. Water content which also influences measurement stability can be provided as an option, integrated as an external input, or used as a constant value, if applicable.
