Given the growing range of fuels and raw materials, there is an increasing need for analytical characterization. Gas chromatography with vacuum ultraviolet detection (GC-VUV) has established itself as a powerful method for numerous problems in the mineral oil and petrochemical industries and is now standardized in several international standards.
The strength of GC-VUV lies in the combination of chromatographic separation and VUV spectroscopy. Thanks to substance-specific absorption spectra, it enables reliable identification and quantification even in challenging hydrocarbon mixtures and thus provides valuable additional information compared to conventional GC detectors.
We offer the full portfolio of currently standardized GC-VUV procedures, including:
- DIN EN 18015: Hydrocarbon groups and oxygenates in gasoline
- ASTM D8267: Aromatic content in turbine fuel (kerosene and sustainable aviation fuel)
- ASTM D8368: Aromatic content and FAME in diesel fuel
- ASTM D8369: Detailed Hydrocarbon Composition of Naphtha
- ASTM D8519: Hydrocarbon Groups in Plastic Pyrolysis Oil
We’re happy to support you, whether you have a question about standard analyses or need help with something more specialized, like product development and R&D projects.
Would you like to know which GC-VUV procedure is suitable for your question? We will be happy to advise you!
