In the petroleum industry, sophisticated analysis is vital to support various processing activities and products, from crude oils to refined petroleum products to fuels and lubricants.
In the area of alternative energy, sources such as biofuels, fuel cells, and new forms of battery power also require advanced equipment for compositional analysis of crude feedstocks and refined products, impurity analysis, structural elucidation, reaction monitoring and additive or materials property testing.
Waters ACQUITY UPLC and High Definition Mass Spectrometry solutions provide rapid and effective separations of the complex, multi-component samples typical of oil and fuel analysis. UPLC, APGC, and ASAP inlets enable access to the full range of tandem quadrupole, Tof MS and ion mobility enabled Tof MS technologies for quantitation of components and additives, biomarker analysis, and complex compositional and structural analysis.
