Energy –Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF)

Multi-element

The S2 POLAR stands as a genuine multi-element analyzer, amalgamating the capabilities of numerous single-element analyzers into a powerful all-in-one benchtop instrument.

 

≤ 10 ppm

Sulfur content in diesel and gasoline is subject to stringent regulations worldwide, with many countries setting a maximum allowable level of 10 ppm S in automotive fuels. The S2 POLAR facilitates efficient monitoring of sulfur levels in refineries, covering a broad spectrum from Ultra-Low Sulfur (ULS) fuels at the lowest ppm range to percentage levels in crude oils.

D7220

The S2 POLAR adheres to key international standards for petrochemical products, including ASTM D7220, D4294, and ISO 13032. These standards are conveniently integrated into the instrument as pre-installed ‘One Button’ solutions for immediate and hassle-free analysis.

The S2 POLAR excels in sulfur (S) analysis across a spectrum ranging from diesel to crude oils, encompassing both continuous process control for higher sulfur levels in refineries and norm-compliant Ultra-Low Sulfur (ULS) analysis of final products.

In alignment with international sulfur norms such as ASTM D7220, D4294, and ISO 13032, the S2 POLAR ensures compliance with industry standards.

Its capacity to simultaneously measure multiple elements, including critical elements for process control such as Ni, V, Fe, and Cl, makes the S2 POLAR a singularly effective instrument to meet the analytical demands of refineries.

 

Additionally, the S2 POLAR is well-suited for norm-compliant analysis of additives in lubricating oils, following ASTM D6481 and ASTM D7751, covering elements like Mg, P, S, Cl, Ca, Zn, and Mo. It also extends its analytical capabilities to elements in edible oils or palm oils.

Safe Liquid Sample Handling with SampleCare™

 

Ensuring optimal instrument uptime is vital for seamless operations, and Bruker achieves this through its SampleCare technology. SampleCareTM effectively prevents liquid sample leakages and safeguards crucial system components, ensuring the highest level of instrument availability.

For the specified petrochemical standards, the S2 POLAR comes equipped with pre-installed Ready-to-Analyze solutions. These ‘One Button’ solutions streamline the instrument setup process, minimizing time requirements and leading to a cost-effective element analysis. This results in immediate payback on investment.
