Precision analysis for better decision making

  • The real challenge
    When online analyzers are not feasible, refineries still require precise elemental analysis to prevent catalyst damage, corrosion, and product quality issues. Unfortunately, traditional lab methods often involve complex prep, long wait times, and inconsistent results that slow down the ability to act when it matters most.
  • A smarter solution
    Designed for high-throughput refinery labs, our petrochemical analysis instruments deliver consistent, regulatory-grade results within minutes, enabling informed decisions without holding up operations. Whether analyzing crude blends, feedstocks, or final products, XOS solutions help technical teams stay ahead of contamination risks.
  • Why it matters
    When real-time inline monitoring isn’t an option, a high-performance lab analyzer is your next best line of defense. XRF offers an efficient, cost-effective alternative to more complex methods—allowing refinery labs to support process control, catalyst protection, and corrosion prevention with confidence and speed.

Fuel
Sulfur Analyzers
Our XRF sulfur analyzers are suitable for a wide range of fuels and petroleum products, including motor and aviation fuels, distillate and residual oils, crude oils, and lubricating and hydraulic base oils. 
Sindie Cl
Chlorine Analyzers
Enhance your workflows with advanced XRF chlorine analyzers designed to determine total chlorine in liquid hydrocarbons such as aromatics, distillates, heavy fuels, crude oils, and aqueous solutions. 
disc-drive
Multi-element Analyzers
Our multi-element XRF analyzers deliver rapid, high-precision analysis of sulfur, chlorine, and select metals across a broad measurement range, with models available for different element combinations.

The small footprint, minimal infrastructure requirements, intuitive user interface, analytical performance, and limited user/supplier maintenance of the XOS Sindie+Cl makes it an invaluable tool in our Oil Analysis laboratory. Using the Etnom® Accucells has significantly reduced specimen and chemical usage.
