Our ANALECT® RefinIR™ lab process analyzer is a fully integrated laboratory autosampler and FTIR instrument designed to measure liquid hydrocarbons including gasoline, diesel and crude oils in a single autosampler. The ANALECT RefinIR lab process analyzer delivers automated spectral data acquisition of multiple liquid refinery stream samples from crude oils to blended gasoline and diesel.

The system utilizes the ANALECT XCORR™ Model Transference Protocol allowing data and models to be seamlessly transferred to the on-line ANALECT Hydrocarbon SmartSystem™. 

This system features the ANALECT Diamond 20™ Transept™ Interferometer Platform with the improved DCM 600™ data acquisition electronics. This provides improved performance utilizing SpectraQ™ Software with a customizable HMI for operating the system. Determination of physical properties and chemical composition can be achieved with the touch of a button. The ANALECT RefinIR lab process analyzer automates calibration data collection in support of our Hydrocarbon SmartSystem online process analyzer. 

• Automated spectral data acquisition of multiple liquid refinery stream samples from crude oils to blended gasoline and diesel.
• Autosampler can be heated up to 125°C to allow sampling of heavy crudes and intermediates, such as FCC feed.
• Holds 24 15 ml vials and automatically transfers the sample to a flow- through transmission cell embedded in in the autosampler.
• Includes compliance to ASTM D6122 via a wash and validation functionality that eliminates cross-contamination of samples and pro- vides a quick assurance of spectral quality.
• Reduces the laboratory benchtop footprint by up to 60%.
• Newly designed carousel for robust operation.

APPLICATIONS

The RefinIR is primarily used in the oil and gas industry for real-time monitoring of refinery processes. It is designed to measure the chemical composition of petroleum products in various stages of the refining process, including crude oil, intermediate products, and finished products.  It uses Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to analyze the chemical composition of petroleum products. 

Some specific applications of the RefinIR include:

• Crude oil analysis: Used to analyze the chemical composition of crude oil in real-time. This information is used to optimize the refining process and to ensure the quality of the finished products.
• Fuel blending:   Used to ensure that the finished product meets industry standards and regulatory requirements. The analyzer can measure various parameters, including octane number, cetane number, sulfur content, and other important properties that affect fuel quality.
• Component streams applications:  For polymers, petrochemicals, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals manufacturing.
• Process monitoring: Used to monitor the chemical composition of intermediate products and finished products during the refining process. This information is used to adjust the process parameters in real-time, improving efficiency and reducing waste.
• Quality control: Used for quality control of finished products, ensuring that they meet industry standards and customer specifications.
• Regulatory compliance: Used to monitor the chemical composition of petroleum products for regulatory compliance, such as ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

For a complete range of analytical instrumentation, applications, systems, and service options, we will work to match your needs and budget and provide the optimal, and most stable process analysis solution for your application.
