Measuring the Biofuels Blend Ratio in Gasoline and Diesel Fuel
From Wilks Enterprise, Inc.
 

 
The InfraSpec VFA-IR Spectrometer is a portable mid infrared spectrometer that gives spectral, quantitative or qualitative information on a wide variety of materials wherever they occur – at the production line, in the field or in the laboratory. The trend toward alternate fuels is resulting in an increase of biodiesel and ethanol production. The InfraSpec can measure percent biodiesel in diesel fuel, ethanol in gasoline, water in ethanol as well as total glycerides during the biodiesel reaction process. Using the InfraSpec Spectrometer for making pass/fail determinations for total glycerides can significantly reduce analysis time and increase reactor throughput by as much as 20 percent.

Products & Services
Power generation systems are power generators and related systems that are used in power plants or large-scale power generation facilities.
Cogeneration equipment produces power and thermal energy from a common fuel source, generally one that is considered to be a waste product from another process.
Microturbines are small fuel-burning turbines used in localized or mobile power generation and mechanical drive applications.
Engines and components are used to convert energy into mechanical force and motion for automotive and industrial applications.
Explosion-proof pumps prevent internal or external explosions by enclosing parts that could ignite either the transfer media or the surrounding atmosphere.
