Fossil Energy Applications

Customers benefit from the extensive know-how that AERZEN has gained from decades of experience in the chemical and petrochemical industry. The use of biogas as an energy source will considerably help achieve the environmental objectives set nationally and internationally; be that reducing reliance on nuclear energy or the reduction of CO2 emissions.

Most large coal fired plants have a flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) plant to lower SO2 levels to below emission limit levels. The CODEL GCEM 40 series is used to monitor SO2 levels after the FGD to ensure they are below required levels and to ensure that the process is not too efficient and using too much sorbent. In addition, many plants monitor pre and post the FGD to ascertain the efficiency of the plant.

Crude oil is a highly complex mixture of hydrocarbons. Through desalting, distillation, and conversion, it is transformed into fractions of higher-quality hydrocarbons such as paraffins, aromatics, naphthenes, and olefins. Different ratios of these so-called PIANO compounds are blended to yield different fuel and lubricant types. Increasingly, fossil fuels are blended with biofuels. Both blending and refining processes are demanding and require precise and reliable analysis. Regardless whether you deal with fossil or biogenic products, we are your specialist when it comes to analyzing them in accordance with international standards.

This application package is a `ready to go` calibration kit for xrf instruments. Fusion technology is ideal for analysing oxidic materials like ashes. It performs with the highest precision possible in xrf sample preparation. Primarily power stations and their control laboratories have to check the ash from the burning process of black and brown coal. Two standard DIN and ASTM methods describe the testing in detail. FLUXANA is able to deliver both methods ready from the bench.

Syngas (short for synthetic gas) can be burnt and used as a fuel source, the main constituents of syngas are Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Hydrogen (H), which amount for around 85% of Syngas, and it is produced by a process called Gasification. Gasification starts with a base material which can originate from a wide variety of materials for example wood chips and pellets, plastics, municipal solid waste, sewage, waste crops, and fossil fuels such as coal. During Gasification the base material is reacted at high temperature without combustion with controlled amounts of oxygen (O) or steam. The composition of the base material combined with the amount of oxygen and heat used in the process affects the composition of the resultant SynGas, in which the CO can vary between around 20 and 60%. In addition, large amounts of H and CO are also formed. The measurement of CO is therefore an important feature in the production of SynGas.

Gas Desulphurisation is notoriously difficult for small to medium sized sulphur sources and for ‘lean’ acid gases in particular. Most other solutions result in either high operational cost or in laborious operations. Or both… This is where THIOPAQ^® Oil & Gas offers you a way out.

Petrochemical products are derived from petroleum products. Many other chemical compounds are derived from other fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, or other renewable sources such as corn or sugar cane. With over 30 years of experience in supplying the chemical and petrochemical industries with high quality expansion joints and check valves, PROCO understands the unique needs and demands that companies in these businesses face.

As more mandates for a minimum of ethanol in gasoline and biodiesel in diesel come into effect, major oil companies are blending higher percentages of biofuels at their terminals. A quick analytical measurement method to assess the blend ratio can be a valuable asset for fuel distributors, engine manufacturers, fleet operators, and regulatory agencies. The InfraCal Biodiesel and Ethanol Blend Analyzers offer a quick way to verify that fuel blends are on spec. They are ideal for use for non-technical personnel and measurement results take less than one minute.
