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.
