Biodiesel Fuel Quantification Determines Cetane Number
Increasing concerns about global climate change has added more impetus to the development of biodiesel, a renewable diesel fuel consisting of fatty-acid alkyl esters. The CETANE 2000 quantifies the amount of biodiesel present in a fuel—a measurement of particular importance since, in instances, 2% blends actually contain between 0 and 8% biodiesel. By spectroscopically separating the unique mid-IR absorbances, the CETANE 2000 enables characterization and quantification of biodiesel in a fuel blend. These biodiesel blends dramatically change the distillation qualities of diesel, making the current Cetane Index equation unusable. Therefore, cetane engines or a correlative cetane method, such as the CETANE 2000, become a necessary tool for determination of biodiesel blends' Cetane Number. The system is fully automated for accurate results by both technical and non-technical personnel. It combines analyses for density, cetane number, and cetane index plus cetane improver, total aromatics, polynuclear aromatic and biodiesel content in one portable instrument.
