XRF for plastic pyrolysis

Streamline plastic pyrolysis operations with fast, accurate elemental analysis. 

Plastic-Pyrolysis-square

Fast, reliable insights for pyrolysis optimization 

  • The real challenge
    Obtaining accurate elemental compositions during the pyrolysis process for plastic-to-plastic or plastic-to-fuel conversion can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Traditional methods often require lengthy sample preparation and complex testing equipment, delaying critical process decisions and slowing optimization efforts.
  • A smarter solution
    Our MWDXRF and EDXRF analyzers deliver fast, reliable elemental analysis for every stage of the plastic pyrolysis process. With minimal to no sample preparation, our instruments give you insights within minutes—whether you’re analyzing shredded mixed plastic waste, catalysts, residue/wax, or liquid samples.
  • Why it matters
    Fast, accurate analysis is essential for optimizing pyrolysis processes and minimizing response times. Designed to fit your specific feedstock and process needs, XOS solutions provide rapid results so you can make informed decisions, mitigate risks, and maximize efficiency.

Recommended products 

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. 
Clora 2XP
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.
