SPECTRAL FUEL ANALYSIS IN SECONDS

Detailed FTIR AnalysisERASPEC uses a patented rugged Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectro meter to deliver laboratory precision in a portable instrument. At the single push of a button it analyzes your fuel for over 40 parameters within seconds. ERASPEC directly measures the significant gasoline com-ponents, such as aromatics, oxygenates and octane boosters. In addition, it determines all important gasoline parameters. Those include RON, MON, AKI, RVPE, VLI and distillation properties to name but a few. In Diesel fuel the instrument directly measures total aromatics, polynuclear aromatics and the cetane improvers 2-EHN and IPN. Biodiesel measurements deliver results for the FAME and FAEE concentrations. The instrument then uses the measurements to calculate the cetane number, cetane index and the distillation fractions. Jet fuel analysis additionally gives results for the freezing, flash- and smoke points. The built-in oscillating U-tube density meter (ASTM D7777, ISO 15212) accurately mea-sures fuel density and allows displaying the results in Vol% as well as in Mass%.

Huge Expandable DatabaseERASPEC comes preconfigured with a huge database of several hundred international calibration samples. But we would not let this be your limit. Therefore, we made it easy to drive ERASPEC’s excellent result accuracy even further: It is easily possible to add as many samples of known concen-trations or properties to the database as are required. By training ERASPEC with new samples you can even define completely new parameters for the results. This process is so simple, you should really give it a try.

Compliant Biodiesel TestingDue to governmental regulations as well as influences on Diesel fuel proper-ties it is important to monitor Biodiesel concentrations in Diesel blends. ERASPEC analyzes Biodiesel across a range of 0-65 Vol%, which covers all blend ratios in practical use. It fully complies with the brand new ASTM D7806 standard and can also directly determine Biodiesel according to EN 14078. ERASPEC analyzes the sample for contaminations with vegetable oil and displays a notification if vegetable oil is detected.ERASPEC is calibrated with a matrix of Biodiesel produced from canola oil. To increase the measurement accuracy even further, it offers a simple func-tionality to add additional calibration models for Biodiesel produced from other sources, such as soybeans.

With several hundred instal-lations in over 50 countries

ERASPEC has already proven its reliability and durability.

Optimized Design for Unmatched Precision

Autosampler for Unattended AnalysisThe 10-position autosampler lets youmaximize your sample throughput while saving precious operator time. The sampler is directly attached and performs measure-ments without operator intervention.

Gasoline, Diesel fuel and jet fuel show highly differ-ent IR signal intensities in measurements. To achieve highest precision for all fuel types ERASPEC uses a patented, purpose-designed single or dual transmis-sion cell. Gasoline, which exhibits higher signal intensi-ties, is measured through a 20 µm cell whereas Diesel and jet fuel measurements are performed with a 100 µm cell to enhance their low signal intensity. For the analysis of special Ethanol, Methanol or synthetic fuels ERASPEC automatically selects the ideal cell.

High-precision measurements also require the best signal-to-noise ratio to accurately determine concen-trations of individual compounds. ERASPEC therefore uses an optimized spectral reso-lution of 4 cm-1 for low-noise fuel measurements in full compliance with latest standards. Additionally, ERASPEC automatically selects the best IR signal of each component for evaluation. These features com-bined result in a superior signal-to-noise ratio and a truly comprehensive measurement range.

Compact Stand-Alone Analyzer

All eralytics instruments are compact stand-alone analyzers with a built-in industrial PC. They represent the latest in technology, designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. Of course, all eralytics analyzers use cutting-edge industry technology and provide universal data transfer op-tions. Ethernet and USB interfaces allow advanced data management and connectivity to PCs, modern printers, keyboards, PC-mice, barcode read-ers, or other external equipment.

Direct LIMS Communication

A direct out-of-the-box connection to LIMS (Laboratory Information Man-agement System) is established with a standard Ethernet cable. No extra software or PC are necessary.

True Portability

The small footprint of the eralytics instruments makes them the first choice for use in the lab and on-site. Lightweight and built with an integrated carry-ing handle they are ideally suited for mobile applications.
