Simulated distillation (simdist) by gas chromatography offers some significant advantages over the physical procedure, making this technique quite useful. Analysis by GC typically has the better precision, higher throughput, less hands-on time, and lower cost per sample. Also, Simdist requires considerably less sample to be run and can generally be considered the safer of the two techniques. Simdist is very suitable to characterize crude oils.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Knowledge of the boiling point distribution of stabilized crude oils is important for the marketing, scheduling, and processing of crude oil in the petroleum industry. ASTM methods D7900 and D7169 can be combined to determine the boiling point distribution of crude oils. For crudes with a significant light end this will be recommended.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Simdist method ASTM D7169 is widely used for determining the boiling point distribution of crude oils up to a final boiling point of 720\u00b0C. However, this method will give an incomplete result for the separation of C<sub>4<\/sub>-C<sub>9<\/sub>, due to the thin film column in the presence of large amounts carbon disulfide. This problem can be solved by combining the results of ASTM D7169 with results from another gas chromatograph (GC). A GC configured for ASTM D7900. This method will analyze the light end fraction of the crude oil, up to and including nonane. Results of both methods are merged into one boiling point distribution, which will give a more accurate data range of the crude oil.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">High Temp SIMDIST ASTM D7169<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">ASTM D7169 determines the boiling point distribution of crude oils and residual samples up to a final boiling point of 720\u00b0C, this corresponds to the elution of n-C100. The method determines the boiling point distribution of samples from n-C<sub>9<\/sub> up to n-C<sub>100<\/sub>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This method can also be used to obtain the boiling point distribution of samples that do not fully elute, such as atmospheric and vacuum residues. The amount of residue (or sample recovery) is determined using an external standard. This provides insight into composition and allows for the determination of intrinsic product value.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A qualitative mixture of normal paraffins covering the range from C<sub>5<\/sub> up to C<sub>100<\/sub> is used to determine the relationship of boiling point (BP) versus retention times (RT). Reference oil 5010, which fully elutes from the column, is used to determine the detector response factor. CS<sub>2<\/sub> blanks are run, and the resulting signal is subtracted from the response standard and the samples. Samples are injected and with the use of the response standard the recovery of the sample is calculated. A boiling point distribution can be calculated up to the recovered amount. Customized cut point reports can also be calculated.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Front-End DHA ASTM D7900<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">ASTM D7169 yields an unreliable boiling point distribution for the front-end fraction of a crude, therefor ASTM D7900 is used. This method determines the boiling point distribution of hydrocarbons in crude oil up to n-C<sub>9<\/sub>. Results of both methods are combined into one boiling point distribution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">An internal standard is quantitatively added to the crude oil. A small amount is injected onto a precolumn. When the front-end fraction (&lt;C<sub>9<\/sub>) has reached the analytical column, the precolumn is backflushed to vent the higher boiling components.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The components are identified by comparison of reference chromatograms and the Eclipse database; the DHA\/Simdist software. Eclipse can group individual components by hydrocarbon type. According to the composition of the frontend fraction the boiling point distribution will be calculated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">See table 1 for the analytical settings of both methods.<\/p>\n<table class=\" aligncenter\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 59.8875%; height: 184px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 17.4981%; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 22.1699%; height: 23px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>ASTM D7169<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 20.2314%; height: 23px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>ASTM D7900<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 17.4981%; height: 23px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Injector<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 22.1699%; height: 23px;\">Cold-on-Column w.

They typically provide a much more robust, economical, safe, automatable, and easy solution for obtaining accurate boiling point and cut point data for petroleum products, feedstocks and other petroleum fractions as specified in these different methods.<\/p>\n<p>For crude oils with a significant light end it is advised to combine a High temp Simdist ASTM D7169 with a front-end DHA ASTM D7900. Due to large amounts of CS<sub>2<\/sub> the simdist method will give an incomplete result for the separation of C<sub>4<\/sub>-C<sub>9<\/sub>. Front-end DHA ASTM D7900 will cover this analysis. Merging data from both methods will give a more accurate data range of crude oil. A complete boiling point distribution can be calculated. Customized cut point reports can also be made.<\/p>\n<p>Scion Instruments can provide a High Temp Simdist ASTM D7169 and Front-end DHA ASTM D7900 combination with suitable software to get the best results for <strong>crude oil analysis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Download the Application Note<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Download the complete Application Note: <a href=\"https:\/\/scioninstruments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SCION-AN088-Crude-Oil-Analysis.-Combining-ASTM-D7169-and-ASTM-D7900-to-give-a-full-boiling-point-distribution-of-crude-oils.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crude Oil Analysis &#8211; Combining Simulated Distillation (ASTM D7169) and Detailed Hydrocarbon Analysis (ASTM D7900) to give a Full Boiling Point Distribution of Crude Oils.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Keep in Touch<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you wish to speak to a member of our team about more information, please don\u2019t hesitate to contact us.
