On-site measurement of ethanol in gasoline and water in ethanol or methanol
Two portable, easy-to-use mid-IR analyzers for use by producers, distributors, fleet managers, or regulators to measure the percent ethanol in gasoline and/or water in ethanol or methanol are available from Wilks Enterprise, Inc. They are rugged, compact instruments for use by non-technical personnel and give a direct readout in percent ethanol or percent water in under a minute. This provides the user with the capability to make measurements on-site at a manufacturing facility, distribution center or service station and not wait for laboratory test results. Each instrument weighs less than 5 lbs. and can be operated from a battery pack or cigarette lighter adapter cable.
The first is the InfraCal Filtometer. This is a low-cost analyzer that is preset for a specified wavelength suited for one pre-selected measurement. It is self-contained with an internal calibration program and direct readout display. An RS 232 interface is available for data transmission to a PC. The InfraCal Filtometer is ideal where a single, repetitive analysis is needed.
The second instrument is the InfraSpec VFA-IR Spectrometer that covers the spectral region 5.4 to 10.8 micrometers and is capable of monitoring more than one biofuels component. It will measure the % ethanol in gasoline or water in ethanol or methanol, as well as the % biodiesel in diesel fuel, or total glycerides during the biodiesel reaction process. The InfraSpec Spectrometer is operated from a PC, allowing for multiple calibrations, data storage and data transmission. It can receive an input from a bar code scanner for sample identification.
