Applications

The SimDist Analyzers comply with the following methods:

Configuration

The SimDist analyzers are based upon the Agilent GC configured for a test method with the required hardware and software components:

• GC programmable temperature sample inlet (PTI)
• GC column
• Calibration, reference or QC samples
• PetroReporter software.
   

Improved SimDist analysis with Dedicated inlet

The DVLS Programmable Temperature Inlet is a dedicated SimDist inlet that:

• Allows direct injection
• Provides stable blank runs
• Minimizes carry over
• Has no dead volume
• Avoids discrimination of heavy components
   

The DVLS PetroReporter is a universal software tool that automates data processing of petroleum samples. After data processing PetroReporter creates the required SimDist reports. Some examples are: Alkane profile report, cut point distribution report, distillation reports and correlation reports.

Benefits

• High Quality GC Hardware - All SimDist Analyzers are based upon the Agilent GC configured with dedicated columns, inlets and detectors.
• Complete Analyzer Range - The SimDist analyzers comply with all standard test methods of ASTM, DIN, EN, IP and ISO to provide a boiling point distribution up to 750°C.
• Dedicated SimDist Inlet - The Programmable Temperature Inlet developed by Da Vinci optimizes the peak shape and makes the column/liner connection easier.
• Proven software platform - The analyzers include the PetroReporter software that automates the data processing and reporting of the properties of petroleum streams. PetroReporter is successfully used by a global installed base of leading oil refineries.
• Accurate characterization of crude oils - To improve the boiling point characterization of crude oils the DVLS PetroReporter merges the High Temp SimDist with a capillary GC (DHA) analysis.
• Application Guarantee - Each analyzer is tested according to the in-house testing procedures to check the system performance and to verify the analyzer specification by a reference sample test. Factory Acceptance Test will be scheduled upon request.

Training

Would you like to learn more on SimDist  analyses being an analyst within a petrochemical GC laboratory? Attend (one of) the training courses Da Vinci Laboratory Solutions offers. You can select the SimDist training course where we will explain the basic principles to you as well as the maintenance and troubleshooting. The PetroReporter software is used for reporting.

During this one-day training the following topics will be discussed:

• Basic principles of the SimDist analysis
• Used Inlets, columns and detectors
• Maintenance
• Recognize problems and solve them in a structured manner
• Use of Petro Reporter software for the various reports and calculations
