Comprehensive characterisation of all types of fuels
Analysis of the composition of natural gas, CNG, LNG/LBG, RE gases (e.g. from PtX processes), biogases, H2 gases, synthesis gas and liquid gas using specific detectors. Detection of higher hydrocarbons up to C100 using FID screening (simulated distillation) or PIONA analysis. Execution of GC-MS analyses to identify unknown trace substances. Detection of secondary gas substances (BTEX, organic silicon compounds, sulphur components) and odorant concentrations
Mass spectroscopy system with two analysis lines (IMR-MS and EI-MS) for the simultaneous detection of the main gaseous components as a percentage and trace gases in the ppm and ppb range.
Analysis of high-purity hydrogen and characterisation of accompanying substances in the ultratrace range
Determination of the content of halogens, phosphorous, sulphur, selected alkaline and alkaline earth metals in solid, liquid and gaseous samples, with various combustion methods (e.g. Wickbold, Grote-Krekele or hydro-pyrolytic)
Detection of the flash point of liquid fuels based on various standards (DIN, ASTM)
Determination of the calorific value of solid and liquid fuels
Determination of the density of liquids (0 – 150 °C) and solids
Determination of the dynamic viscosity in various temperature ranges
Mobile laboratory and sampling
We have a modular, mobile laboratory for on-site analysis and sampling.
Equipment
Various sampling systems
The connection with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology gives us the opportunity to conduct countless additional analyses and take advantage of outstanding scientific expertise across a range of issues.
