原油及車用燃油中硫分析測試儀

XRF熒光測硫儀Compass-4294光譜儀

1. 背景與簡介

過去幾年國內(nèi)多個重點城市出現(xiàn)嚴(yán)重的霧霾天氣，引發(fā)了市場對中國油品質(zhì)量的廣泛質(zhì)疑。隨著國家對環(huán)境保護的重視和民眾對公共健康意識的提高，對降低車用燃油、船用和鍋爐用燃油、航空煤油中的硫含量提出了更高的要求。石油產(chǎn)品中的多種硫化物是導(dǎo)致空氣污染的重要因素;而在PM2.5監(jiān)測中，硫化物也是一個組成部分。加強對石油產(chǎn)品中含硫量的嚴(yán)格控制，空氣中PM2.5微顆粒的濃度會相應(yīng)降低。

對車用燃油中硫含量控制，是減少城市空氣污染的主要舉措之一。國家自2011年7月1日開始實施輕型汽油車排放的國IV標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，并將于2014年1月1日在國內(nèi)實施相應(yīng)的國IV標(biāo)號汽油。目前，北京、上海、廣州等大城市已經(jīng)在使用國IV標(biāo)號汽油，并開始著手準(zhǔn)備使用國V標(biāo)號的汽油。國V標(biāo)號的汽油硫含量小于10mg/kg。

能量色散型X射線熒光光譜儀已經(jīng)被廣泛的應(yīng)用于石油煉化企業(yè)、產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量監(jiān)察、環(huán)境監(jiān)測監(jiān)察和檢測公司分析實驗室，做為油品中硫含量的快速分析工具

Sulfur-in-oil Analyzer Compass 4294 Application Note- Sulfur

1. Background and Introduction

 Fuels & oils monitoring- Compass 4294 XRF

For ships operating outside designated Emission Control Areas, IMO has set a limit for sulphur in fuel oil used on board ships of 0.50% m/m (mass by mass) from 1 January 2020. This will significantly reduce the amount of sulphur oxide emanating from ships and should have major health and environmental benefits for the world, particularly for populations living close to ports and coasts.

Since 1 January 2015, the sulphur limit for fuel oil used by ships operating in Emission Control Areas (ECAs) designated by IMO for the control of sulphur oxides (SOX) has been 0.10% m/m.

The powerful Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) Compass 4294 serial Sulfur analyzer of ESI Instrument are capable of more sensitive and precise analysis than can be expected from a laboratory class analyzer. This application note demonstrate the Compass 4294 test performance of sulfur in different oil and fuel samples.

2. Instrument parameter

Factory optimized test conditions are set for sulfur analysis. This industry leading

technology enabling low detection limits and high precision without the need for consumable helium gas, a vacuum pump, or extensive sample preparation.

4. Test procedure and Calibration demonstration

A serial of commercial available oil standards were used to calibrate the EDXRF spectrometer at factory. Customer can run the sample test without any further calibration process on-site.

Only four steps are needed to make the measurement. See pictures of how to prepare and put the sample for analysis as below picture

1-1, Prepare the sample cup. The cup was closed on the analytical side with a 6 um thin Mylar film. The same Mylar was also preset on the protection test window platform to avoid any accident sample leak into the analyzer.

1-2, Typically 3-5 ml oil from each standard was poured into the analyzer’s cups up to the fill line.

1-3, Put the sample cup on the compass XRF sample loader, which is perfectly fit wit the sample cup dimension.

1-4, Click the ‘start’ button to run analysis. Results will be shown after 130 seconds.

>A set of commercially available heavy fuel oil standards with know sulfur concentrations were used to setup the calibration.

Figures 2-2 below shows the correlation curves sulfur in oil for high concentration ranges in percentage level.

This data was approximated with linear function. R2 is the coefficient of determination. An ideal correlation would have an R2 value of 1.

The red points are sulfur standards: Blank, 0.01%, 0.075%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 2% and 5%. The perfect R2 value(0.999921) demonstrate the good linear with wide concentrate range of sulfur.

Figures 2-3 below shows the correlation curves sulfur in oil for low concentration ranges in ppm level.

The red points are sulfur standards: Blank, 5ppm, 10ppm, 30ppm and 100ppm. The perfect R2 value(0.999664) demonstrate the good linear and high sensitivity for the low sulfur concentration analysis.

5．Conclusion

Sulfur analysis using ASTM D4294 and ISO 8754 continues to be an important measurement for refinery and independent laboratories around the world. Global regulation trends toward lower sulfur fuels demonstrate the need for a rapid and precise analysis solution. Based on the test results obtained above, it is proved that the Compass 4294 is capable of measuring sulfur in oil or fuel samples complying with the most strict standard.

On board fuel oil management is an important element of preventing operational issues and sulphur non-compliance.Improper handling of fuel oil on board may lead to non-compliance with MARPOL requirements,even if the fuel oil received was compliant. With it’s compact and portable design, Compass 4294 becomes essential tool to do on board oil quality control for sulfur.
