XOS Launches Total Chlorine Analyzer

XOS announced the introduction of a bench-top total chlorine analyzer. The Clora analyzer is a breakthrough analytical solution for determination of chlorides in liquid hydrocarbon samples, such as aromatics, distillates and heavy fuels as well as in aqueous solutions. The analyzer applies the same Monochromatic WD XRF analytical technique as the company’s Sindie line of analyzers. Clora analyzers provide a limit of detection of 0.15ppm and a dynamic range up to 3000 ppm. This direct measurement technique does not require gasses or involve high temperature processes which results in unprecedented ease-of-use and minimum maintenance requirements.

Precise determination of chlorides is critical during refining processes. Chlorides may poison expensive catalysts and may lead to corrosion in overhead or reactor effluent systems. Alternative methods, such as micro-coulometry and ion chromatography, for determination of chlorides at levels below 1 ppm involve cumbersome sample preparation and/or combustion processes. This ultimately leads to extended operator involvement, longer measurement times, increased consumables and complexity and increased maintenance. Clora enables the user to quantify chloride concentration below 0.5 ppm levels, without the difficulties of consumable gasses, or elevated temperature processes.
