Moisture Determinations in Biodiesel and Alternative Fuels

JM Science’s new AQUACOUNTER^® Coulometric AQ-300 KF Titrator is used in the biofuels industry including applications in biodiesel, glycerin, reclaimed methanol, jet fuel, ULSD or ultra-low sulfur diesel, kerosene and many others. This reliable, easy-to-use titrator determines moisture quickly and accurately down to 1ppm with just a simple injection of the sample. Four files with preset conditions can be stored in the memory and allows instant recall of data for up to 20 samples. The unit is CE approved, has an international voltage input (100-240V) and results may be printed on an optional printer or downloaded to a PC. Includes download software for laptop or PC. Laboratories with limited budgets will benefit from this low-cost, highly productive unit.

The titrator has six built-in calculation modes to accommodate solid, liquid and gas samples. It includes a statistics package with one-touch calculations. A built-in detector monitors titration status. This unit has balance and computer interfaces for GLP and ISO documentation. A choice of ion exchange or fritless cell system and thermal printer or impact printer are available. Printout contents include date, sample number, measurement value (µgH20), sample quantity, moisture content, mean value, standard deviation, CV, moisture quantity-time curve, and other preset titration parameters.
