Product Announcements: Fuel Testers

InfraCal Ethanol and Biodiesel Blend Analyzers are rugged, easy-to-use infrared analyzers that are ideal for non-technical personnel. They provide direct readout in either % ethanol or % biodiesel enabling the user to make on-site measurements in under a minute. Used worldwise by fuel distributors, petroleum terminal managers, and regulatory agencies to ensure correct blends. (read more)

On-site tests were conducted at a major pipeline company to determine effectiveness of the InfraSpec VFA-IR Spectrometer, Model EB, for detecting biodiesel contamination in diesel fuels. Testing concluded Model EB was well suited to detect biodiesel levels as low as 100ppm and provides an easy, quick check for fuel contamination at a price significantly lower than other instruments.

Portable, easy-to-use mid-infrared biofuels analyzers for use by producers, distributors, fleet managers, or regulators for on-site measurement of biodiesel in diesel, ethanol in gasoline, water in ethanol, total gylcerides, FFA's in feedstock and water in feedstock. The analyzers are easily operated by personnel having little or no knowledge of infrared analytical techniques. (read more)

The InfraCal Ethanol Blend Analyzer a portable, easy-to-use mid-infrared instrument for measuring percent ethanol blend in gasoline. It's rugged, compact, portable design is ideal for use by non-technical personnel. It reads out directly in percent ethanol which gives the user the capability to make accurate on-site measurements in less than a minute to ensure a proper fuel blend. (read more)

PA Dept. of Agriculture selected the InfraCal Biodiesel Blend Analyzer for compliance monitoring of its statewide biodiesel program. The analyzer can be used in the field and has the required accuracy of 0.2 percent for testing the fuel at the 1200 retail motor fuel locations for 2% biodiesel which has been mandated. (read more)

As biofuels programs expand, the need increases for easy-to-use methods to ensure the specified fuel blend. The InfraCal Ethanol Blend Analyzer is a fixed-filter infrared analyzer that, unlike FTIR spectrometers, has no moving parts making it portable, rugged and suitable for use in a field environment by non-technical personnel. Analysis time is typically less than one minute. (read more)
