Full crude assay
Full crude assay
IPL’s I-Fischer distillation unit (Autodest 800/860 AC) enables us to provide full crude oil assay analysis. This unit can continue distilling a residue product to a maximum temperature of 565°C.
IPL tailors its Crude Assay Analysis to meet your needs. Depending on your requirements it can include some of the following:
- SimDis Merge Analysis
- Specific Gravity
- Aniline Point
- Asphaltenes
- Carbon Content
- Freeze Point
- Viscosity
- Metals (21 elements)
- Pour Point
- Mercaptan Sulphur
- Water
- Density
- API Gravity
- Aromatics
- Carbon Residue
- Detailed Hydrocarbon Analysis
- Hydrogen Content
- Mercury
- Nitrogen
- Reid Vapour Pressure
- Total Acid Number
- Wax
The Crude Assay distillation that we offer follows internationally recognised ASTM test methods:
- ASTM D2892: Distillation of Crude Petroleum
- ASTM D5236: Distillation of Heavy Hydrocarbon Mixtures
We provide detailed data that helps:
- Determine the quality of the hydrocarbon (composition and boiling point distribution)
- Establish the suitability of the crude for its end use
- Predict the commercial worth of the product
- Identify changes over time in the hydrocarbon quality
- Find an appropriate market for a crude
- Provide information to optimise crude feedstock processes
- Determine compatibility with a production plant.
