Abstract:
Importance of stability and compatibility measurement has raised its head again lately both in refinery and marine industries. Oil supply disruption can be caused for example by pandemic or political conflict leading refineries facing variance in crude oil. On the other hand, marine fuel has undergone a big change with the implementation of maximum 0,50 % sulfur in 2020. PORLA stability and compatibility analyser can be used in several applications in refineries. The asphaltene precipitation point can be accurately determined according to ASTM D7112. The titration and optical detection are fully automated requiring only minimal sample preparation from the user.
