Metrohm's Petrochemical Analysis brochure is a summary of important quality parameters and the methods used to check them.
It can be ordered free-of-charge and is accessible on the company's website.
Using important national and international standards as a basis, Petrochemical Analysis suggests methods and instrumentation best suited to checking parameters such as: base number (TBN); acid number (TAN); hydroxyl number; chlorine content; water content; oxidation stability; elemental sulphur and sulphuric compounds; heavy metals; pH value and more.
Methods covered include potentiometric, colorimetric and Karl Fischer titration (volumetric and coulometric), oxidation stability, ion chromatography, voltammetry, at-line and on-line process analysis.
