Biodiesel Analyzers Ensure Fuel Quality and Regulatory Compliance

EcoAnalytix biodiesel application platforms can help biodiesel manufacturers ensure the quality of their fuel and meet regulatory compliance for both ASTM and EN standards. The platforms are part of the EcoAnalytix initiative, which creates application-based solutions to improve business ecosystems while supporting local, regional and global initiatives that contribute to a healthier worldwide ecosystem. The platforms include three analyzers. The EcoAnalytix glycerin and methanol analyzer features the Clarus 500 GC with an innovative dual oven design for analyzing free and total glycerin and residual alcohol in biodiesel. This oven design allows labs to complete both GC analyses on a single instrument without the need to modify hardware setup. The EcoAnalytix trace metals biodiesel analyzer, which is based on the Optima 7000 ICP-OES, can test Group I and Group II metals and phosphorus. And based on the Spectrum 100 FT-IR system, the EcoAnalytix FAME biodiesel analyzer (ASTM only) can analyze the properties of biodiesel fuel that are determined by the structure of its fatty acid methyl esters. The platforms also include LABWORKS Green, a pre-configured software application specifically for the biodiesel industry, application notes, methods standard operating procedures (SOPS), and on-site training.
