Compact sulfur analyzer suitable for on-site applications released Responding to the need for curbing sulfur-derived air pollutants 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 HORIBA, Ltd. has released a new portable sulfur analyzer, the SLFA-60. Sulfur analyzers are used to measure sulfur compounds present in heavy oil, gasoline, diesel oil etc. as impurities that convert to toxic gases. Shale oil, a promising alternative to crude oil, can contain high concentrations of impurities, including sulfur. Sulfur analyzers thus serve in quality management of petroleum products. This new analyzer can determine the sulfur content of shale oil, as well as of conventional crude oil, and has a measurement range twice that of previous models. Featuring compact and portable design, the SLFA-60 enables on-site measurement and analysis at oil drilling sites, plants and other locations, enhancing efficiency in resource development and quality management of petroleum products. Because crude oil contains sulfur and other impurities, petroleum products containing sulfur components can be a source of hazardous sulfur oxide emissions, leading to air pollution, acid rain and other environmental problems. In order to control sulfur concentration in refined petroleum products, a catalytic chemical process (hydro-desulfurization) is used to remove sulfur compounds during refining.
