Gulf Coast Conference 2016: Rigaku Exhibits X-Ray Analytical Instrumentation

Rigaku Corporation is presenting its diverse range of X-ray analytical instrumentation at the 2016 Gulf Coast Conference which is taking place at the George R Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas, 11 – 12 October.

Rigaku manufactures a complete range of X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence instruments and components for research, testing, industrial process control, and product development, and is exhibiting its lines of benchtop X-ray diffraction and wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometers at Booth # 450. These powerful, transportable instruments deliver speed and sensitivity through innovative technology and design.

Instruments featured include;

• The Supermini200 benchtop WDXRF spectrometer, the only commercially available benchtop WDXRF spectrometer
• The fifth generation MiniFlex benchtop X-ray diffractometer, the most powerful system of its type and features an available sample changer
• The Micro-Z ULS WDXRF sulfur analyzer, designed for ultra-low level sulfur analysis of diesel and petrol (gasoline) fuels.

Benchtop and on-line energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometers for multi-element analysis of solids, liquids and powders and X-ray transmission instrumentation from Applied Rigaku Technologies, Inc (ART) will be presented at booth # 448.

The low-cost, compact NEX QC series of benchtop analyzers is designed to meet the ever-changing demands of the petroleum industry. With multi element capabilities, elements such as nickel (Ni), vanadium (V), and chlorine (Cl) can be measured in petroleum products, in addition to sulfur (S) in crude oil.

For higher performance, the NEX CG features secondary target and polarized excitation for lower detection limits. For real time process control needs, ART offers the NEX XT process sulfur in oil analyzer and the NEX OL process multi-element analyzer.

The Gulf Coast Conference promotes education and the advancement of knowledge of chemical analysis technology associated with the petrochemical, refining, and environmental sectors.
