Feedstock quality is essential for safe and efficient refinery and petrochemical operations. Accurate determination of metal and non‑metal elements across a broad concentration range — from trace contaminants to significant impurities — ensures that every processing step runs smoothly and in compliance with specifications. At Analytik Jena, we back your progress with robust analyzers tailored to the demanding matrices of the oil & gas industry. Built for long‑term stability, our solutions deliver fast, precise results even for complex organic samples — so you can make confident decisions and keep production flowing.
Whether you’re monitoring iron, nickel, sulfur, or vanadium in crude oil, or analyzing volatile sulfur in natural gas: We’re with you at every step, helping you secure high‑quality data, avoid unnecessary measurements, and reduce the risk of costly off‑spec batches. Together, we ensure your feedstock meets the standards your processes depend on.
Reliable fluorine control in circular feedstocks
The petrochemical industry is increasingly integrating circular feedstocks such as waste plastic pyrolysis oil (WPPO) to reduce dependence on fossil resources and improve supply security. While these alternative feedstocks play a key role in advancing circularity, they also introduce new analytical challenges - particularly with regard to fluorine. Unlike conventional crude oil, pyrolysis oils may contain varying fluorine concentrations originating from additives used in plastics. Even trace levels of fluorine can cause severe corrosion and catalyst poisoning in downstream refinery processes. Fast, reliable fluorine monitoring is therefore essential to ensure process safety and protect valuable assets.
Analytik Jena provides a fast and robust solution for precise fluorine monitoring. The workflow with ICprep and contrAA 800 G uses high‑temperature pyrohydrolytic combustion and high‑resolution molecular absorption spectrometry (MAS) to capture and quantify fluorine with high sensitivity. This method significantly reduces analysis time compared to conventional combustion ion chromatography, while maintaining accuracy and lowering operational complexity.
Fast fluorine determination in organic matrices
Accurate determination of fluorine in organic materials is essential across a wide range of applications, including polymers, Fluorine-containing compounds can affect processing performance, product quality, and regulatory compliance, yet their reliable quantification remains challenging. Watch our web seminar to discover a novel detection approach for petrochemical applications that combines sample combustion with high resolution continuum source molecular absorption spectrometry (HR-CS-MAS).
