Reformulated Fuel Analyzers
Reformulated gasoline (RFG), an outcome of the USA 1990 Clean Air Act, required the reduction of volatile organic compounds and other toxics emitted during combustion in gasoline engines. To achieve the targeted reduction of CO emissions, the oxygen content in gasoline in reformulated gasoline was controlled by the regulation.
Agilent has been instrumental in the development of many of the RFG methods, continuing to innovate and create solutions tailored to meet the diverse needs for RFG analysis. Agilent provides a family of factory tested - ready to use GC analyzers for analysis of various oxygenates, benzene and heavier aromatics according to ASTM and EN methods. Whether selecting one of our turnkey configurations or a custom analyzer, Agilent will consult with you to define the right solution for you.
- Multiple methods on a single intrument provide flexibility and cost-efficiency.
- Capillary Flow Technology improves performance by eliminating carry over.
- Capillary Flow Tecnology Backflush reduces analysis time.
- Resolution between components of interest.Variety of analyzers to meet performance specifations for ASTM D4815, D5580, D3360, EN13132, or EN12177.
