Automated asphaltene extractor - ASTM D6560, IP143 and NF 60115

Description

N-heptane titration of asphaltene in petroleum fluids is described by ASTM D6560, IP143 and NF 60115 standards. Conventional methods are very time consuming, lack accuracy and require continuous supervision throughout the experiment. The Vinci automated asphaltene extractor is an innovative automated instrument which greatly improves the reliability of the ASTM/IP/NF procedures due to its impressive repeatability and accuracy. Additional advantages include rapid measurements and an almost fully automated operation.

Benefits

* Process simplification as the measurement is faster and automated, in accordance with ASTM D6560-IP143
* Great repeatability <= 5% Wt.
* Extreme filtration (detection threshold at 0.3% Wt.)
* Hermetic enclosure (no toxic emissions, no loss of sample material)
* Low solvent consumption as it can be recycled
