Testing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in fuels, distillates and hydrocarbon feed-stocks.

Fuels, middle distillates, heavy fuel oil, residues and other hydrocarbons are tested by Intertek for aromatic content and poly-nuclear aromatic content. Laboratory analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) samples includes supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), liquid chromatography (LC) and Heavy Distillates Analyzer (HDA).

PAHs analytical techniques:

  • ASTM D-5186, determination of the aromatic content and polynuclear aromatics content
  • Aromatic Content of Diesel Fuels and Aviation Turbine Fuels
  • Aromatic branch chain analysis of residual fuels, VGOs, etc. boiling above 650 F
  • Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons analysis is available through the global Intertek laboratory network.
