Meeting rigorous analytical requirements For biomass fuels to be acceptable as replacements for petroleum, they must conform to industry requirements throughout the manufacturing chain. Testing protocols typically fall into four areas: 1. Raw material quality: Carbohydrate, protein, and fat assays directly impact the market price of biomass feedstock. 2. Process control: Measuring the conversion to fuel during plant production is critical for optimizing economics. On the following pages, you’ll find the Agilent technologies that can help usher in – and sustain – an era of clean, renewable,...

Agilent Biomass Solutions A new method for quantifying biodiesel in diesel fuel using Agilent’s 5500t FTIR Agilent FTIR systems Pushing the limits of monitoring for biodiesel and ethanol methods We combined the transmission sample interface specified in EN 14078 with the algorithm and standards specified in ASTM D7371 to develop a method that accurately predicts the percentage of biodiesel in diesel fuel from 0.025% to 20%. The method accuracy was tested and found to be superior to other methods, especially for low levels of biodiesel, as you can see below. The 4500 / 5500 and Cary 630...
