Abstract
Anovel analyser for the determination of sulfur content in fuel oils has been devised. This apparatus is available for the monitoring of sulfur content of the petroleum intermediates and product, such as gas oil, distillate fraction, residual oil, and plays a role as a stream analyser. The sulfur concentration may be measured up to 4% by weight, using this apparatus. Operational specifications regarding to the fuel samples are given as follows:
(1) density 0.78∼0.94
(2) carbon-to-hydrogen ratio 6∼9
(3) maximum inlet temperature 110°C
(4) maximum inlet pressure 7kg/cm2
The data obtained with this device are compared with those based on the speified in ASTM D-129. The difference between these experimental resulte is of the order of ±0.05%.
