Biodiesel Analysis
Biodiesel is one of the most promising alternative fuel sources available today. Unlike conventional diesel fuel derived from crude oil, biodiesel comes from vegetable oils and animal fats. Compared to petroleum-based diesel (petro-diesel), biodiesel is safe, renewable, biodegradable, cleaner burning and is compatible with today’s diesel engines. However, like petro diesel, biodiesel can present a significant analysis challenge.
Gas chromatography has to date been the most widely used method for the analysis of biodiesel due to its generally higher accuracy in quantifying minor components. SCION offers comprehensive solutions for the analysis of biodiesel by gas chromatography based on ‘standard’ methods. These include:
- EN 14105: Determination of Free and Total Glycerine and mono-, di-, triglyceride content in B-100 Biodiesel Methyl Esters
- Determination of Total FAME and Linolenic Acid Methyl Esters in Biodiesel – EN 14103
- Determination of Free Glycerol in Fatty Acid Methyl Esters and Biodiesel according to EN-14106
- EN 14110: Determination of Methanol Content in Biodiesel
- ASTM D6584: Analysis of Free and Total Glycerin in B-100 Biodiesel Methyl Esters
