Model E: Empowering Laboratories & Terminals with Speed, Accuracy, and Compliance
The Model E Ethanol Analyzer from WI Instruments, a CFR Engines Inc. brand, is redefining ethanol analysis by combining precision, speed, and simplicity. Designed for both fuel and ethanol laboratories and the fast-paced demands of pipelines and terminals, Model E simplifies the testing process while maintaining conformance and correlation with ASTM standards, making it a valuable tool for ensuring quality and accuracy in ethanol fuel blending.
For Fuel & Ethanol Laboratories: Reliable Performance Without the Complexity of GC
Traditional gas chromatography (GC) remains a standard in many labs, but it comes with drawbacks—complex calibration routines, reliance on consumables, and extended analysis times. Model E addresses these challenges with a streamlined approach, using mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy to deliver fast, accurate results with minimal maintenance.
It measures ethanol and methanol concentrations in conformance with ASTM D5845 for blends up to 20% Ethanol and supports ethanol purity analysis up to 100% in correlation to ASTM D5501. Unlike GC systems, Model E does not require intensive cleaning cycles, multi-level calibration procedures, or rely on intensive sample preparation. This allows laboratories to accelerate their workflows, reduce operating costs, and achieve repeatable results with confidence—all while staying within regulatory parameters.
For Fuel Terminals & Pipelines: Precision Blending with Real-Time Insights
Blending accuracy at fuel terminals and pipelines is essential for regulatory compliance and overall fuel performance. Model E supports this critical task by providing real-time analysis of ethanol and denaturant concentrations within 3 minutes, along with an integrated u-tube oscillating density meter that ensures compliance with ASTM D7777.
Model E also correlates to ASTM D7923, D6839, D6730, and D4815 for contaminant detection, making it a comprehensive solution for monitoring blend quality. Operators can make quick, informed adjustments during the blending process, reducing variability and ensuring consistency across batches, leading to more efficient operators and greater confidence in meeting blending targets. Thanks to its compact and on-the-go capabilities, Model E can be utilized by terminal and pipeline operators with or without a lab, enabling easier and more flexible analysis in the field.
Efficient, Compliant, and Easy to Use
With a user-friendly design and dependable performance, Model E supports the needs of both laboratory technicians and field operators. Model E eliminates the need for multiple instruments with its multi-analyte functionality, enhancing efficiency in every environment. Whether it’s increasing throughput in the lab or
reducing delays at the terminal, Model E helps teams work more efficiently while maintaining the accuracy and compliance that fuel ethanol analysis demands.
From precise lab work to high-volume terminal operations, Model E is built to deliver—every step of the way.

EMAIL: Powering Progress: How IQT® Drives the Global Shift to Sustainable Aviation Fuels
2050. The United States, under the SAF Grand Challenge, aims to produce 3 billion gallons of SAF annually by 2030. In Japan, India, and Canada, national sustainability programs are linking aviation reform to broader climate targets. Meanwhile, the UK’s Jet Zero Strategy is integrating SAF with infrastructure modernization efforts. The global consensus is clear: decarbonizing aviation hinges on the commercial viability of SAF.
Central to this transition is accurate fuel evaluation. This is where the CFR Ignition Quality Tester (IQT®) has become invaluable. While originally built for testing Derived Cetane Number (DCN) in diesel fuels, the capabilities of IQT extend well into the realm of jet fuel. SAF candidates must pass ASTM D4054 — the international gold standard for qualifying new aviation turbine fuels. A key risk it screens for is lean blowout, where the flame inside a jet Turbine engine extinguishes mid-flight due to poor ignition quality. DCN helps predict this, and the IQT ASTM D6890 and the EN15195 (IP498) methods remain the most trusted approach for this measurement.
From international fuel research consortia to private innovation labs, momentum around Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is growing at an unprecedented pace. Reflecting upon extensive travels this year and participating in key industry events—including the EI UK MOD Aviation Fuels Conference in Manchester, the ASTM D02.J Aviation Fuels and SAF Standards meeting in Brussels, the CRC Aviation Committee Meeting at the University of Dayton, and International Conference on Sustainable Aviation Research (ICSAR) at Trinity College in Dublin—it’s clear that the global SAF/SATF market is rapidly gaining traction. Through conversations with OEMs, global petroleum stakeholders, clearinghouses, and research institutions, one message stands out: momentum is building, and the demand for scalable, certifiable, and efficient solutions has never been greater.
Governments across the globe have set ambitious sustainability goals. The European Union’s Refuel EU Aviation initiative mandates that SAF comprise 2% of jet fuel by 2025, ramping up to 70% by
In response to growing SAF demand, IQT has evolved. The latest IQT-XLM model features advanced software, digital control enhancements, and ultra-low sample volume requirements — enabling full DCN analysis with only 10 mL of fuel, and partial evaluation with 5 mL. This is critical for early-stage SAF projects where sample volumes are limited.
During the recent ICSAR event at Trinity College, attendees were presented with an illustration of this and later embarked on a Lab tour and an illustration of its operation was conducted by trained CFR Product Experts demonstrating its robust output and minimal fuel consumption. Leading institutions like Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), Sheffield University, and Trinity College are now routinely using the IQT Instrument for DCN testing of SAF as a preference for their research. Their endorsement underscores IQT’s standing as a cornerstone of SAF certification.
The IQT is not limited to aviation. It is also widely used for evaluating renewable diesel and GTL (Gas-to-Liquid) fuels. In Europe, IQT’s EN 15195 method is the referee method for cetane
determination under EN 15940 — the diesel fuel standard for synthetic and paraffinic fuels. With deployments across North America, Canada, South America the UK, Europe, South Korea, Singapore, Asia Pacific and the Middle East, the IQT has truly global reach.
Beyond standard labs, there’s a collaborative wave of innovation. Universities, research hubs, and national labs are actively developing synthetic fuel technologies. The RMI SAF database, ICAO’s SAF research archives, and IATA’s SAF sustainability initiatives are valuable resources accelerating this ecosystem. These programs promote shared methodologies, data transparency, and regulatory harmonization — ensuring innovations in the U.S. align with SAF evaluations in the EU or Japan.
The IQT combustion chamber (CVCC) design provides unmatched flexibility in fuel analysis. The system supports high throughput, repeatability, and stable performance across petroleum-derived jet fuels, Hydro processed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA), Fischer- Tropsch fuels, Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) fuels, and emerging pathways like Power-to-Liquid (PtL). This makes IQT adaptable to where SAF is heading — including complex synthetic blends and second- generation biofuels.
Looking forward, industry cooperation is key. The drive toward net-zero emissions is not a competition — it is a collaboration. SAF is a bridge technology, allowing existing fleets to fly cleaner, while enabling long-term transition. Accurate, reliable tools like the IQT enable this vision. They empower researchers, streamline certification, and ultimately help aviation meet the climate challenge head-on.
Whether in the lab or on the runway, the IQT is fueling the future of flight — one test at a time.
