UOP 971 and UOP 981: Ultra-Trace Level Total Nitrogen Detection in Aromatics and Liquid Hydrocarbons
Very low levels of nitrogen are detrimental to the effectiveness of catalysts used in refining processes. Petrochemical plants which are producing BTX type of aromatics therefore require the ability to monitor the total nitrogen content of feedstocks in the low ug/kg region.
This application note describes a direct injection, oxidative combustion followed by chemiluminescence detection technique for the measurement of ultra-low levels of Total Nitrogen (TN) present in aromatic hydrocarbons in compliance with UOP 971 and UOP 981 methods.
Our Impact
EST Analytical has been helping labs achieve their analytical goals for over 30 years. Our vision is to engineer reliable laboratory instruments that enable partners to make the world a better place.
To help labs excel we offer Application Notes across our entire product line. They are a resource that explains the technology, performance, and abilities of our products as used against certain methodologies and or applications.
Whether your needs center around a USEPA method, an ASTM Standard, or a sample matrix-based outcome EST has you covered. If you don’t see the technical direction you need, simply contact us. We also offer sample analysis in our onsite Applications Lab.
