Aromatic Hydrocarbon Analyser

Aromatic Hydrocarbon Analyser is a dedicated system based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to determine aromatic hydrocarbon types including monoaromatic, di-aromatic, and polyaromatic hydrocarbon contents in kerosene, diesel fuels and petroleum distillates boiling in the range from 150 to 400 °C. Also, this instrument uses an accepted method for the determination of total aromatics and total saturates in additive-free lube base stocks.
