Thermo Fisher Scientific has brought out the Titan 4000 nitrogen/sulphur/chlorine (NSX) analyser.
This streamlined NSX analyser offers users in the refinery and petrochemical markets superior sample introduction and enhanced oxidative combustion performance.
Its working range covers total nitrogen/sulphur/chlorine applications from low ppb (parts per billion) to high ppm (parts per million) concentrations.
A powerful combustion method allows the analyser to cater for a range of applications in refinery and chemical samples, including naphtha, aromatics, automotive fuels, biodiesel fuels, gaseous and LPG samples.
Traditional analysers achieve analysis times of six minutes, requiring extra carrier gas facilities and frequent user interface handling.
In contrast, by eliminating the need for frequent system checks, the Titan 4000 NSX can analyse TN/TS samples in two minutes and TX samples in less than four minutes.
By operating in real-time and with minimal sample handling requirements, the Titan 4000 analyser decreases analytical costs and complies with current market driven ASTM, IP and UOP methods.
The analyser features a chromium-plated copper spray injection design, allowing it to inject high boiling-point component samples without blocking the injection system.
The sample introduction and combustion technology, with pre-soot detection (patent pending), ensures optimum analysis and result precision, reducing lead time and minimising matrix effects.
The Titan 4000 injection port and the plug flow quartz combustion tube needs oxygen only.
A heated filter and a number of gas-flow and temperature control sensors minimise user interaction.
These features improve the autonomy of the system and reduce instrument downtime and maintenance, minimising operation costs associated with gas consumption and consumables.
The combination of safe, sensitive and reliable TS-UVF, TN-CLD, micro-coulometric techniques and reduced instrument interaction lead to heightened laboratory safety.
The Titan 4000's modularity allows modules to be easily exchanged.
Thermo Scientific's Visual software simplifies set-up of the analyser.
The Visual software's functions, including priority samples, auto-multiple point calibration lines, Auto-RSD, self diagnostics and leak testing, allow 24/7 unattended operation.
