The XPLORER-N is the smallest Total Nitrogen analyzer available in the market. This elemental combustion analyzer offers fast, accurate and precise analysis of Nitrogen in liquids, LPG’s, gas and solids. It is designed to offer standardized and customized solutions to match both current and future analytical needs, ranging from low ppb’s to high ppm’s. Sample combustion at high temperature through Chemiluminescence is the reference method for the determination of Total Nitrogen. Trace Elemental Instruments Software (TEIS) ensures intuitive and smooth control of your analysis.
Common Applications:
• Chemicals (e.g. Plastics, Aromatics, Olefins and Parafines)
• Refinery Products (e.g. Crude Oil, Naphta, Lubricants, Gasoline, Diesel Fuel, Fuel Oil)
• LPG and Gases (e.g. Pentane, Butane, Propane, Propylene)
Background
Nitrogen plays an important role in the manufacturing of chemicals and petrochemicals. The nitrogen content in fuels is getting a lot of attention nowadays in order to protect the environment. Nitrogen dioxide is a chemical compound that is emitted by high temperature combustion, and is known as one of the most abundant air pollutants. Emissions of NO2 are therefore subject to strict policies in order to protect the environment. In products made out of plastic, nitrogen is also used as an additive.
