Since tax incentives and government regulations, as well as diesel engine warranties, are often based on % biofuel, it is important to have an accurate measurement system
Wilks Enterprise has introduced a portable mid-IR analyser for measuring the biodiesel blend ratio in diesel fuel.
The InfraCal Filtometer is rugged, compact, portable and easy to use by non-technical personnel.
It gives a direct readout in % biodiesel allowing the user the capability to measure the blend ratio on site at a manufacturing, blending or distribution facility in less than a minute.
The InfraCal Filtometer is a fixed filter infrared analyser that, unlike an FTIR spectrometer, has no moving parts and an insignificant optical air path.
This makes it portable, rugged and suitable for use in a field environment.
It weighs about 2kg and can be operated from a battery pack or a cigarette lighter adapter cable.
An internal calibration table and easy-to-use operator interface allows for analysis by non-technical personnel.
An internal calibration table in the InfraCal Filtometer allows for a digital readout in % biodiesel.
