Event Overview:

Due to the effects of catalyst poisoning, machinery corrosion, and cost evaluation of final products, it is necessary to quantify the pre- and posttreatment sulfur, from sub-ppm to percent-level concentrations, referred to as sweet and sour, respectively. Traditionally, instruments faced challenges adequately analyzing sulfur concentrations across the trace and concentrated range, as well as managing the organic load of varying viscosities and volatilities. Through the utilization of the multi EA 5100, which features a wide linear range detector, in-depth monitoring system, and soot-prevention technology, customer and manufacturer have teamed up to confront known challenges involving the analysis of sulfur compounds and present solutions to improve detection limits and repeatability of analysis. This includes the analysis of sample types ranging from liquids to LPG.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Identify sulfur's harmful effects on the environmental and manufacturing process
• Understand the benefits of a sensitive and robust instrument for the analysis of sulfur within the petrochemical industry
• Understand strategies for improving automation and sensitivity of sulfur analysis in an industrial setting

Who Should Attend:

• Lab managers
• R&D
• Lab technicians
