Elemental contaminants play a critical role in refinery operations, catalyst lifetime, product quality, safety, and compliance with international standards. Accurate determination of trace and ultra-trace levels of metals and non-metal elements such as sulfur, chlorine, and nitrogen is therefore essential throughout the entire production process.

This web seminar introduces state-of-the-art instrumentation for optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), and combustion elemental analysis, and demonstrates how these techniques support feedstock evaluation, process control, specification compliance, and final product certification. Based on real-world application examples, attendees will gain insights into the capabilities and advantages of these analytical technologies. 

Key learning objectives:

  • Learn about analytical solutions for determining metals and non-metals in challenging organic matrices
  • Identify the most suitable techniques for feedstock characterization, process monitoring, and product quality control
  • Discover strategies to improve laboratory efficiency, analytical accuracy, and data quality
  • Gain practical insights from real-world applications in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries

Target audience:

  • Refinery and petrochemical laboratory managers and analysts 

  • Analytical chemists and laboratory managers in contract analysis laboratories  

  • Anyone involved in elemental and combustion elemental analysis, product quality, within the oil and gas sector, and production of sustainable fuels
