  • RVP in process: ensure safety, comply with specifications, optimize profits

    Pipeline operators, offshore platforms, terminals, fuel depots or oil tankers detect the vapor pressure, before transporting crude oil or other petrochemical products such as Gasoline or LPG for subsequent processing. It is absolutely necessary to know the vapor pressure of the transported substance to prevent costly damage done to the transportation or storage system.   Apart from the costs a failure might cause, environmental regulations limit maximum vapor pressure ...

  • Vapor pressure testing for petroleum, LPG, crude oil and Chemicals

    Vapor pressure is an important physical property of volatile liquids especially of spark-ignition engine fuels. It provides an indication of how a fuel will perform under different operating conditions. For example, vapor pressure is a factor in determining, whether a fuel will cause vapor locks at high ambient temperature or at high altitude, or will provide easy starting at low ambient temperatures. Petroleum product specifications are regulated by various governmental agencies. ...

  • ViscoLab PVT+

    High-pressure viscosity analysis. For oil, gas, polymers, and supercritical fluids, ViscoLab PVT+ delivers the highest levels of accuracy, speed, and reliability. In high-pressure processes, correctly analysing precious samples is as challenging as it is critical. With millions of dollars on the line, “close enough” is never good enough, and “soon enough” is never fast enough. Since viscosity is an important factor in the quality and marketability of the fluid, measurements ...

  • Fundamentals of Safe Liquid Grab Sampling

    Every day, grab (or spot) sampling systems allow oil, gas, and chemical companies around the world to simply and accurately determine the quality and composition of the fluids they process. In many cases, however, opportunities remain to improve the ease-of-use, safety, and maintenance requirements of these system by rethinking aspects of their design. In the case of panels that draw liquid samples into laboratory bottles, changes to valve assembly designs, specifically, can yield ...

  • Elemental Analysis for Refining and Petrochemicals

    Seamless Laboratory and Process Analysis for Total Sulfur and Nitrogen. As expected shifts to petrochemical and crude oil-to-chemicals (COTC) projects expand through 2050, the need for elemental analysis in refining and petrochemical continues to grow. Refiners must meet stringent requirements due to the increase of nitrogen and sulfur in the crude, requiring more focus on processing and control. Join us to learn about laboratory and process analysis for total sulfur and nitrogen. During ...

  • How grab sampling can help improve your plants safety

    While grab sampling can be a dangerous and hazardous process for both operators and their surrounding environment, too often safety takes a back seat to other day-to-day considerations. If this sounds familiar, tune into this sponsored webinar. It's your opportunity to focus on areas in your plant where safety is a concern and learn methods for ensuring sampling that is not only safe and effective, but also representative.   In this webinar, you'll examine hazards associated ...

  • Best Practice: Screening and QC testing of petroleum products and fuels

    Screening and quality control of petroleum products and fuels can be a tedious and expensive process when performed utilizing traditional methods. Near-Infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as described in ASTM Guidelines E1655, D8340, and D6122 is a much faster method providing results in just 30 seconds without any solvents and reagents needed. In fact, NIRS has  become the preferred method of numerous producers to quickly quantify key parameters in petrofuels and petrochemicals ...
