Customized Analysis for the Biofuels Industry

19 Oct 2015

Interest in biofuels has greatly increased in recent years. In addition to a neutral CO2 balance, biogenic fuels are generally characterized by their very good microbiological degradability, which is why they are suitable for use in ecologically sensitive areas. Furthermore, alternative fuels can usually be produced locally and thereby reduce dependence on imported raw materials. Learn more about water content analysis of biofuels in this application note.

852 Titrando

Metrohm AG

Coulometer including generator electrode without diaphragm and complete volumetric titration cell. The coulometric Karl Fischer Titration is the method of choice for low level water determinations (10 μg … 10 mg absolute water content) in liquid, solid and gaseous samples. As it is an absolute method a titer determination is not necessary. With the 852 Titrando coulometric as well as volumetric Karl Fischer titrations are carried out straightforwardly and quickly.

Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.TitrationTitration is an analytical technique for determining substance concentration in a solution. For titration consider a manual or automated system, volumetric or coulometric reagent addition and indication by a potentiometer, spectrometer, turbidometer or by the Karl Fischer method. Other features of titration to consider include burettes, reagents, concentration range, reaction time and autosamplers.Non-Destructive TechniquesNon-destructive techniques (NDT) describes a variety of analytical techniques used to evaluate the properties of a material. Common methods include ultrasonic, magnetic-particle, liquid penetrant, radiographic, remote visual inspection (RVI), and eddy-current testing. NDT is regularly used in forensic engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, systems engineering, aeronautical engineering, and medicine.Water PurificationThere are a number of water purification methods available to remove contamination from laboratory water. These systems include demineralization, reverse osmosis, filtration and ultrafiltration. A combination of methods is sometimes necessary to achieve purified water suitable for use in experiments.BiofuelBiodieselWater Content AnalysisWater content analysis is crucial for determining the moisture levels in food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and other materials. Accurate measurement ensures product quality and shelf-life.
