Fuel knowledge: analyze for low sulfur levels in fuel

摘要

A high sulfur level in fuel, especially gasoline, is a bad thing. Sulfur compounds dramatically diminish the performance of catalytic converters, leading to increased emissions of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, participate matter and other air toxins. To reduce the levels of this natural crude oil component in fuel, many regions around the world have already imposed tight legal limits. These are due to become even more stringent, with gasoline average sulfur limits of 5-50 ppm on the way. Eventually, all developed societies will adopt these standards. Compliance with standards necessitates measurement, especially in refineries. Demand has consequently grown for an accurate, reliable and on-line analyzer. Enter the ABB PGC2007.
