High-Precision Jet Fuel Aromatics Analysis

Aromatic hydrocarbons in jet fuel are strictly limited due to their impact on engine performance, safety, emissions, elastomer compatibility, and energy density. International specifications such as ASTM D1655 and DEF STAN 91-091 define maximum allowable aromatic content, making accurate and reproducible analysis essential for fuel quality control.

The GAS Jet Fuel Analyser using GC-VUV provides a modern, fully automated alternative to traditional FIA and HPLC methods. By combining gas chromatography with Vacuum Ultraviolet (VUV) spectroscopy, the system enables direct classification and quantification of saturates, mono-aromatics, and di-aromatics without sample preparation or calibration curves. The analyser delivers significantly improved precision, repeatability, and lower total cost of ownership while running the standardised ASTM D8267 method.

Applications

  • Supported method: ASTM D8267 
  • Jet Fuel Quality Control

    Determine total aromatic, mono-aromatic and di-aromatic content to verify compliance with aviation fuel specifications.

  • Automated analysis

    Perform standardised jet fuel analysis using an automated GC-VUV workflow.

  • Refinery and Blending Operations

    Support blending optimisation and process control through accurate aromatic class reporting.

  • Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Evaluation

    Analyse conventional and alternative jet fuels, including synthetic and sustainable blends.

  • Laboratory Automation and Reporting

    Enable automated classification, reporting in mass% and volume%, and full analysis traceability.

Benefits

  • Fully ASTM D8267 Compliant
    Standardised method for automated determination of jet fuel aromatic content using GC-VUV.
  • Superior Precision and Reproducibility
    Achieves 5–10× better repeatability and reproducibility compared to FIA and HPLC methods.
  • No Sample Preparation or Calibration Curves
    Direct injection simplifies workflows and reduces operator dependency.
  • Lower Cost per Sample
    Up to 2.5–16× lower total cost compared to FIA and HPLC techniques.
  • Spectral Deconvolution for Reliable Classification
    VUV spectral fingerprints enable accurate distinction of saturates, mono-aromatics, and di-aromatics even in coeluting regions.
