@Applications & Benefits

1. Applications

 1)Method

  - ASTM D5134, ASTM D6729, ASTM D6730, ASTM D6733, ASTM D7900

 2)Analysis of

  - Individual hydrocarbons & group types , PIONA analysis of gasoline & blending components, Oxygenates

 3)Application range

  - Alkylate, Crude oil, Gasoline, Isomerate, Naphtha, Reformate/platformate, Pygas

2. Benefits

- High Quality GC Hardware

 : All DHA Analyzers are based upon the Agilent GC configured with dedicated columns, injection ports and detectors. 

- ASTM Compliance

 : The DHA analyzers comply with the ASTM test methods D5134, D6729, D6730, D6733 and D7900 to determine hydrocarbons and oxygenates in light petroleum streams. 

- Proven software platform 

 : The analyzers include the PetroReporter software for data processing and reporting of the properties of petroleum streams. PetroReporter is successfully used by a global installed base of leading oil refineries. 

- Universal setup 

 : Analyst could also use PetroReporter to process and report data for SimDist, FAME and Gas Calculation applications in addition to DHA. They can use the universal software for various applications. 

- High level of Automation 

 : PetroReporter automates the settings per sample type to provide a correct sample identification. User-friendly editors can be used to customize your settings. 

- Accurate characterization of crude oils

 : To improve the boiling point characterization of crude oils the DVLS PetroReporter merges High Temp SimDist with the DHA data. 

- Application Guarantee

 : Each analyzer is tested according to the in-house testing procedures to check the system performance and to verify the analyzer specification by a reference sample test. Factory Acceptance Test will be scheduled upon request. 

@Configuration & Option

The DHA configuration is based on the Agilent Gas Chromatograph configured for a test method with the required hardware and software components (based on the Agilent 8890 GC)

- Flame Ionization Detector (FID) with high scanning rate

- Split/Splitless injection port to split the sample for maximum detection and load ability of the column

- Cryogenic mode (N₂ or CO₂)

- 50 or 100 meter DHA analytical column

- Calibration, reference or quality control samples 

- PetroReporter software

 : a universal software tool that automates data processing of petroleum samples. After data processing PetroReporter creates the required DHA reports. Some examples are: Chromatogram plot of the peak labels over a user selectable time interval, Individual hydrocarbons & group types, Oxygenates, PIONA report, TBP distribution, Properties summary of Bromine Number, Gross and Nett Heat of Combustion of liquid, Reid Vapor Pressure, RON and MON values, Specific Gravity.
