Ultra-Fast GC can help make testing labs more profitable and sustainable
Analytical Testing Laboratories are seeing ever growing numbers of sample. A highly competitive marketplace means end users are demanding faster turn-around times and lower analysis costs. This means companies need to look at the latest techniques and technology available to ensure they can offer the best service at a competitive price, whilst still achieving good profitability and operating a sustainable business.
One technique that can greatly increase sample throughput is Ultra-Fast GC. The Term has been banded around recently with some manufacturers even claiming a conventional GC with 2 channels is Ultra-Fast, So what really is an Ultra-Fast GC? A True Ultra-Fast GC directly heats the analytical column rather than using a conventional air blown oven. This offers several distinct advantages a conventional air blown GC cannot. The column can be heated at much faster ramp rates, this can help sharpen peaks and decrease analysis time. As only the column is being heated rather than an entire oven the cool down time is greatly decreased, this means that the injection-to- injection cycle time can be a fraction of that of a conventional GC. Directly heating the column rather than an entire oven also mean significantly less energy is consumed per sample, helping companies further reduce their Carbon Footprint and meet their sustainability goals.
Thanks, PIN.
Ellutia has been a pioneer in Ultra-Fast GC technology for over 20 Years. The latest 500 Series GC is an innovative new design that can switch between operating as a conventional air-blown GC with regular fused silica column to an Ultra-Fast GC that directly resistively heats a metal column. The 500 Series GC features a compact footprint that means several GC’s can fit under a single autosampler further increasing the sample throughput of a system.

A new vision for distillation testing of petroleum products
For More Info, email: email:
Like an experienced operator of a manual distillation, the VD 10’s high-resolution digital camera visually monitors all phases of sample boiling. A powerful, real-time image analysis anticipates and predicts the optimal heater settings to respect standard method conditions for IBP, 5% timings and distillation rate control. Without any need for a programming or optimisation, the instrument provides a perfect distillation run from the first attempt, even for unknown or difficult samples like biofuels. The VD10’s user-friendly interface includes all necessary features for operation, result reporting and traceability, quality assurance, diagnostics and communication.

High quality components, precise sensors and robust construction assure high reliability for heavy- duty use with minimum maintenance with a high level of safety. The VD10 is arguably the most advanced distillation instrument available on today’s market.

asphaltene stability instrumentation Suspended asphaltenes in heavy fuel may flocculate because of thermal stress whilst in heated storage or chemical balance changes during fuel blending. The ideal way to evaluate asphaltenes stability is by determining S-value parameters, measured according to the ASTM D7157 test method.

AD Systems has revolutionised this routine test by introducing the SV10, the first fully automated S-value instrument. The whole test procedure is totally automated: toluene dilution, heptane titration, measure of the flocculation point and post-test cleaning. Unattended test run, simultaneously on the 3 positions, enables a fast result in minimal operational time. With its unique temperature-
controlled, high-precision measuring cell (License TOTAL RC), the SV10 works with a wide range of samples, even those with asphaltene content of <0.4%, such as crude oils, residual products from refining processes, heavy
fuel oils and marine fuels. Using the user-friendly SV10 requires no special training or operator- intervention during the test and there are no safety risks from handling hazardous solvents.
The SV10 is the perfect device for refineries, blenders and traders. The precise S-value and Sa results enable operators to monitor and optimise distillation, cracking (thermal, hydrocracking) and visbreaking units in a refinery. Sa and So results will enable the optimisation of blending operations. With the new IMO low sulphur regulation, this test is now highly recommended for marine fuels (CIMAC guidelines). Whilst individually stable, new formulation fuels can become unstable when mixed. The agglomeration of asphaltenes forming sludge can cause a serious fouling, plugging of filters and can result in engine failure, the SV10 offers a simple solution to avoiding such problems.
