Abstract:
As technology advances for products in the petrochemical industry, sample issues can arise when it comes to analysis by GC High Temperature Simulated Distillation. A wider range of products such as waste plastic pyrolysis oils and bio derived fuels are just some of the examples of samples encountered. Common issues include inlet, column, and detector contamination. These challenges can give rise to incomplete elution of the sample, changes in retention times and erratic results. The causes of these issues and the steps to resolve them are the subject of this paper.
