Determination of Nitrogen Content in Heavy Petroleum Fractions
13 Jul 2015Heavy petroleum is very difficult to extract and analyze due to its high viscosity and high nitrogen content, and requires specialized strategies for quality control. The high nitrogen content in particular can slow down the refining process through poisoning of catalysts. This application note explains a modified combustion process to help with processing these 'difficult' matrices.
