Sniffing Out The Sulphur article from World Pipelines, July 2012. Article written by Richard Shehab, Vicki Luckie and Jim Keasbey.
Process & Analytical Instruments Division, USA, Look at Online Sulphur Analysis In Crude Oil and Petrochemical Products using X-Ray Technology.
Currently, there is a growing need to determine the suphur content of crude oil and hydrocarbon-based fuels and oils with an online anlyser that is able to operate at the pressures and temperatures typical of process pipelines and that requires little or no sample conditioning. It is also desirable for the tested sample to be returned to the process pipeline, thereby eliminating the need for effluent sumps or storage systems.
This paper addresses the two types of X-Ray analysers available on the market for online sulphur analysis: X-Ray transmission/absorption (XRT) and X-Ray fluorescence (XRF), and offers an explanation of the advantages and proper application of each type.
