Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) provides the possibility of a detailed separation of complex fuel samples and their subdivision into different substance classes and individual components.
ASG can rely on many years of expertise in this field and provides various established methods for the analysis of middle distillates and higher boiling samples.
Detailed quantification of middle distillates of fossil origin (jet fuel, diesel, heating oil) as well as for sustainable fuels (e.g. HVO, SAF) can be provided using GC×GC–FID. Our in-house method ASG 2502 is based on ASTM D8396.
For higher boiling samples, the HT-GC×GC–FID according to our in-house standard ASG 2501 is also available.
Even more information can be obtained using GC×GC – ToFMS. Time-of-flight mass spectrometry enables rapid acquisition of mass spectra over a broad mass range. The subsequent script-based data processing allows an automated assignment of detected mass spectra to the corresponding substance classes. We provide a method for the boiling range of middle distillates (ASG 2253) as well as for higher boiling samples (ASG 2221).
