"Our advanced analytical equipment and experienced professionals allow us to control fuel quality and verify the delivered biodiesel blend ratio, glycerin and contaminant content," said Alfa Chemistry's Marketing Director. ...
In particular, the high content of phospholipids hinders phase separations within conventional biodiesel processes. ...
Eco-friendly cooling with vacuums is another area, as well as applications in the oleochemistry industry, edible-oil or biodiesel production. To fully mix tank content, Körting offers mixing nozzles and tank mixing systems which will also be presented at the trade show. ...
Recently, ASTM members expressed their confidence again in the method and voted to include the flashpoint method in ASTM D7467 Biodiesel (B6 to B20) specifications. A inter-laboratory study in 2013 using AMETEK Grabner Flashpoint testers demonstrated the excellent determination capability of the ASTM D7094 for Diesel and Biodiesel Blends up to a range of 30% ...
ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date. 1. Scope 1.1 This specification covers seven grades of diesel fuel oils suitable for various types of diesel engines. ...
Oxygenates, aromatics, benzene, octane boosters and cetane improvers, and biodiesel content are measured with unprecedented precision. A number of key fuel properties, such as octane and cetane number, vapor pressure and distillation properties are accurately predicted, by utilizing a worldwide sample database and by combining the information from the mid-IR and ...
The ASTM Method D 975 currently allows up to 5% biodiesel in diesel without the requirement for biodiesel content labeling and pipeline operators need to know that the product being delivered to their customer is as specified. If a delivery of diesel fuel to be shipped through a pipeline contains unlabeled biodiesel or the ...
In the following you can find standard-compliant applications: 8.000.6007EN Determination of sulfate in denatured ethyl alcohol according to ASTM D 7319 8.000.6008EN Simple and innovative method for the determination of glycerol in biodiesel and biodiesel blends by ion chromatography. 8.000.6020DE Titrimetric analyses of biofuels ...
East Norwalk, CT, Dec. 16, 2011 -- Currently, ASTM Method D975 allows up to 5% biodiesel in diesel fuel without the requirement for biodiesel content labeling. This presents a major problem for operators of Emergency Diesel Generators (EDG) – whether at nuclear power plants or other industrial facilities - as the presence of ...
In the fall of 2009, a major US pipeline operator transported blended biodiesel through a pipeline for the first time. Tests on the biodiesel blend were done using the mid-infrared analysers at the beginning and end of the shipment to ensure the biodiesel met blend specifications. The ASTM Method D 975 currently allows up to 5% ...
Seven weeks of on-site tests were recently completed at a major pipeline company in the Southwest to determine the effectiveness of the InfraSpec VFA-IR Spectrometer, Model EB, for detecting biodiesel contamination in diesel fuels about to enter the pipeline. Over 20 different diesel fuels were tested for the presence of biodiesel and if they would cause false ...
A new application note from Wilks Enterprise features the InfraSpec VFA-IR Spectrometer, with flow-through sample system, for the accurate measurement of biodiesel in diesel fuel down to 0.05% in less than one minute. This is particularly important for nuclear power plants and pipeline operators as they need to ensure that little or no biodiesel is in their ...
Wilks Enterprise is pleased to announce that its InfraSpec VFA-IR Spectrometer, with a new flow-through sample system, is now capable of accurately measuring biodiesel in diesel fuel down to 0.05% in less than one minute. This is particularly important for nuclear power plants and pipeline operators as they need to ensure that little or no biodiesel is in their ...
Commercial Group is a fast growing office services company, based in Cheltenham which has dramatically reduced its carbon footprint by revolutionising its fleet of vehicles, which underpin hundreds of deliveries each day.
