Moscow. November 20. INTERFAX - shvabe-Technological laboratory Specialists are developing new ways to Express fuel quality assessment, the press service of the shvabe holding, which includes the company, reports
"Research projects on the study of petroleum products through optics, implemented in Kazan, relate to the latest methods and technologies based on optical methods. The results of this work will reduce costs, as well as reduce the time and energy consumption required for the analysis of light oil products," the report said on Friday.
According to the press service, as part of the first project, engineers designed a submersible polarimeter. Among the advantages of the development is the versatility of application and the presence of permanent magnets in the composition. The magnets are made in the form of a set of cylindrical rings made of a material with a high coercive force, which reduces energy consumption to a record level.
"The second project is aimed at creating a new method for rapid quality assessment, which was previously successfully implemented in the IRF-479 spectrofractometer. The method using the refractive index dispersion is the most informative and convenient - the studied material is considered as a mixture of paraffin-naphthenic and aromatic fractions and, according to the linear ratio for determining the impurity content in a pure substance, the proportion of aromatic hydrocarbons is found in it," the report says.
Currently, the company is actively developing a digital device - it will become more competitive in the market of analytical devices, the press service informs.
According to Andrey Konkov, General Director of shvabe-Technological laboratory, the creation of devices based on the proposed methods will solve a number of existing problems in the field of optics application in the oil industry.
"In particular, today the task of our engineers is to make the fuel analysis process faster, more energy efficient and more profitable. The specialists who work on this have many years of experience in developing refractometric and polarizing devices and are continuously searching for methods and technologies to develop this area, " said Konkov, quoted by the press service.
