Analysis of total sulfur, nitrogen and chlorine in petroleum products

TSHR International introduces a new range of Combustion Elemental Analyzers for the analysis of total sulfur, nitrogen and chlorine in petroleum products. The TSHR 7000 Series is a compact fully automated combustion analyzer with a vertical sample introduction and furnace tube connected to a gas conditioning system and high quality detection systems down to ppb concentrations.

This provides the user within a few minutes, accurate data in compliance with regulatory methods such as ASTM, UOP and CEN standards. The TSHR liquids autosampler, HR 7000 model, can analyze 15 to 121 samples automatically to meet small and large routine lab requirements.

Also the new TSHR 6000 Series combustion elemental analyzers, which are based on horizontal sample introduction technique is extremely suitable for a wide range of applications like liquids and solids.

Both 6000- and 7000-Series can be optional equipped with a HR 7000 Plus model liquids autosampler using a heated sample tray and a vortex module to handle challenging sample matrices.

The new Gas & LPG sample introduction module, GM 7000, can be connected to the TSHR 6000- and 7000-Series and controlled through Athena software. The new enhanced range of TSHR Combustion Elemental Analyzer solutions will drive customers in QC and routine labs to high productivity and low costs of operation with high accuracy and reliable total sulfur, nitrogen and chlorine data.
