ASTM D8150 Standard Test Method for Determination of Organic Chloride Content in Crude Oil by Distillation Followed by Detection Using Combustion Ion Chromatography

ASTM D8150 is a standard that outlines the test method for determining the organic chloride content in crude oil. This method involves distillation of the crude oil sample followed by detection using combustion ion chromatography. The standard is designed to measure organic chloride concentrations in crude oil, which can be present due to contamination from chlorinated solvents used in various operations.

The parameter measured in ASTM D8150—organic chloride content—is crucial for several reasons. Organic chlorides do not naturally occur in crude oil and their presence indicates contamination. These contaminants can lead to the formation of hydrochloric acid during the refining processes, which is highly corrosive and can damage refinery equipment. Accurate measurement of organic chloride content is essential for ensuring the quality and safety of crude oil and preventing potential damage to refining infrastructure.

ASTM D8150 provides a method for the precise and reliable measurements of organic chloride content, which is critical for the petroleum industry. By using distillation followed by combustion ion chromatography, the standard ensures high sensitivity and accuracy in detecting trace levels of organic chlorides. This method helps in maintaining the efficiency of refining processes, protecting equipment from corrosion, and ensuring the overall quality of crude oil. 

With the ICprep series, Analytik Jena offers powerful systems for the sample preparation step, described in ASTM D8150, as precondition for the quantification of total chlorine by ion chromatography. ICprep systems offer highest safety standards to ensure quantitative combustion, such as Self Check System, flame sensor technology and heated transfer lines, to ensure maximum efficiency for detection by an ion chromatograph.
