Comprehensive Biodiesel Analysis with Automated Sample Preparation

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel produced from renewable feedstocks such as vegetable oils and organic waste. Worldwide regulations promote the use of biodiesel blends, while strict quality standards ensure engine compatibility, emissions control and product consistency. As a result, biodiesel must comply with a range of EN and ASTM specifications covering ester content, glycerides and residual methanol.

The GAS Biodiesel Analyser is a turnkey GC solution that integrates three standardised biodiesel methods into a single instrument. Based on proven GC technology and combined with a versatile Triplus RSH autosampler, the analyser delivers fully automated sample preparation, injection and reporting. This approach significantly improves repeatability, reduces operator workload and increases laboratory throughput. 

Applications

  • FAME and Ester Content Determination

    Analyse fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), ester content and linolenic acid methyl ester according to EN 14103.

  • Free and Total Glycerol Analysis

    Determine free glycerol, mono-, di- and triglycerides using EN 14105 and ASTM D6584.

  • Methanol Content in Biodiesel

    Measure residual methanol by headspace GC according to EN 14110.

  • Biodiesel Quality Control

    Verify biodiesel compliance with international fuel specifications prior to blending or distribution.

  • Automated Routine Laboratory Testing

    Perform high-throughput biodiesel analysis with minimal manual handling and consistent reporting.

Benefits
