Connecticut April 10, 2009 - A2 Technologies today announces a
new biodiesel analysis capability for its PAL and iPAL FTIR analyzer
product line. Jon Frattaroli, CEO of A2 Technologies states, “The
PAL series analyzers are acclaimed for their compact size, powerful
analysis capabilities, ruggedness and user friendliness. The enhanced
biodiesel capability ensures that a new market segment will benefit
from this breakthrough technology.”
The
PAL series analyzers, when equipped with A2’s innovative
TumblIR biodiesel sample interface, are now capable of measuring
biodiesel concentrations in petrodiesel from as low as 0.025%,
as required in certain applications such as the nuclear power
industry, up to 20% (B20). By eliminating troublesome, hard-to-fill-and-clean
transmission IR flow cells, PAL systems make low concentration
biodiesel analysis fast, easy and reliable. No sample preparation
is required, minimal training is needed and biodiesel results
are provided on-site instantaneously. PAL analyzers, pre-loaded
with A2 Technologies’ highly intuitive and easy to use Biodiesel
Analysis Methods and software, accurately measure low level biodiesel
concentrations in just one minute including sample introduction,
measurement and clean-up.
The
TumblIR equipped PAL series will also accurately measure the common
range of biodiesel blended fuels from B1 – B20, just as
easily and quickly. This capability is important for companies
that produce, receive or store biodiesel blended fuel. Companies
that manufacture diesel powered generators or users that employ
these generators will find PAL analyzers invaluable for ensuring
proper equipment operation. These analyzers meet the requirements
of the EN 14078 standard and can be configured with ATR sampling
technology for those applications that are required to conform
to the ASTM D 7371-07 standard.
