Online Hydrocarbon Properties Measurement

Intertek's PT5™ Online Analyzer measures hydrocarbon properties, quickly and accurately.

The PT5™ system uses advanced spectrum analysis, combined with state-of-the-art topographical modelling, to produce real time data for measuring the properties of hydrocarbon streams. Applications for PT5 extend from the oil field to the refinery. The PT5 technology utilises NIR and other spectra to obtain real-time properites and quality control data.

Hydrocarbon Properties measured by PT5 include: 

Crude Oil (live or stabilised crudes):

Crude Composition, C1 to C5, C6+
True Boiling Point Curve
TAN (KOH), Sulphur
Pour Point, Density, API Gravity
