Advancing Quality in Sustainable Aviation Fuel Analysis

Advancing Quality in Sustainable Aviation Fuel Analysis

The Real Challenge

Producing high-quality Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) requires strict control of elemental contaminants—especially sulfur and chlorine. Sulfur must remain within defined specification limits to ensure regulatory compliance and optimal fuel performance. Chlorine, even at trace levels, can cause corrosion in engines and fuel systems, leading to expensive repairs and potential safety risks. Traditional testing methods often lack the speed, precision, or sensitivity required for routine monitoring, introducing delays and increasing operational costs. 

A Smarter Solution

XOS’s MWDXRF and EDXRF analyzers offer fast, reliable sulfur and chlorine analysis tailored to SAF production needs. With minimal sample preparation and results delivered in minutes, our instruments enable labs and production teams to verify fuel quality, avoid compliance risks, and keep operations moving efficiently.

Why It Matters

Accurate elemental analysis is key to scaling SAF production without compromise. XRF technology helps minimize corrosion risks, reduce testing delays, and ensure that each batch meets specification—while protecting valuable infrastructure. Whether you're supporting day-to-day fuel certification or guiding production decisions, XOS analyzers give you the insight needed to stay ahead of quality and regulatory demands.
