Sulfur and chlorine analysis plays a critical role in refining, petrochemical, and fuel production processes, where accurate data is essential for product quality, process optimization, regulatory compliance, and catalyst protection. However, the wide variety of organic sample matrices encountered in these industries often presents significant analytical challenges, including poor recoveries, matrix-related interferences, increased maintenance requirements, and ultimately inaccurate results.

This web seminar explores practical and effective approaches to overcoming these challenges in the determination of sulfur and chlorine across diverse organic matrices. Attendees will gain insights into how advanced hardware solutions can improve combustion efficiency, ensure complete sample decomposition, and enhance system robustness when handling challenging refinery and petrochemical samples.

In addition, the web seminar will discuss method optimization and calibration strategies that help minimize matrix effects, improve analytical performance for reliable quantification across a broad range of sample types – from feedstocks, additives, intermediates, to final products.

Through real-world examples and application-focused discussions, participants will learn how to reduce maintenance demands, improve data quality, and achieve consistent analytical performance, even for the most challenging organic samples. Whether responsible for routine quality control or advanced process monitoring, attendees will gain valuable guidance on maximizing accuracy, efficiency, and confidence in sulfur and chlorine determination within refinery and petrochemical laboratories.

Key learning objectives:

• Explore the challenges associated with analyzing fossil-based and sustainable feedstocks, refinery streams, petrochemicals, fuels, and related materials
• Learn how to avoid common pitfalls and achieve accurate sulfur and chlorine measurements for product quality assurance and process optimization
• Gain insights into method optimization, calibration strategies, and state-of-the-art hardware solutions to improve analytical accuracy, reproducibility, and laboratory efficiency
• Review practical application examples from refinery, petrochemical, and fuel testing laboratories
