Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Testing (PAH)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons analysis (PAH) of fuels, distillates and feedstocks.
Intertek tests fuels, middle distillates, heavy fuel oil, residues and other hydrocarbons for aromatic content and poly-nuclear aromatic content. The laboratories test polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) samples using various techniques, including supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), liquid chromatography (LC) and Heavy Distillates Analyzer (HDA).
PAHs analytical techniques:
- ASTM D5186, determination of the aromatic content and polynuclear aromatics content
- Aromatic Content of Diesel Fuels and Aviation Turbine Fuels by Supercritical Fluid Chromatography
- Aromatic branch chain analysis of residual fuels, VGOs, etc. boiling above 650 F, by Heavy Distillates Analyzer
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons analysis for fuels and refined products is available through the global Intertek network.
PAH testing locations:
- Sunbury England UK
- California Chemical and Petroleum Testing (Northern)
- California Petroleum and Chemical Testing (Southern)
