Overview HK-FTIR-650 conforms to ASTM D975 Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils and ASTM D7371 Standard Test Method for Determination of Biodiesel (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) Content in Diesel Fuel Oil Using Mid Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR-ATR-PLS Method). The increasing importance of sustainability in energy production has led to a global commitment to the use of fuels derived from renewable biological sources, such as biodiesel produced from plant crops. Biodiesel consists of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and is produced in a transesterification reaction as depicted in figure 1. A range of feedstocks are used globally, including apeseed, soy, sunflower, palm and jatropha.
Features 1. The design integrates main components to an optical bench machined from a cast aluminuim. Highly stable and no need for adjustment, removing troubles of maintenance of optical path 2. Precision machinery ensures high repeatability of every scanning. Advanced design concept is adopted in both optical path and every part 3. The system's corner cube optics provides easy operation without requiring complicated electronics and additional moving parts. In addition, many components of the spectrometer are user replaceable which saves time over the lifetime of the instrument 4. Internal dynamic collimation system and movable mirror driving system keep the interferometer at optimum situation. Voice-coil driver and precision slide improves the ablity of working in severe conditions 5. The spectrometer includes a container of desiccant that protects the beamsplitter and other optical components from moisture damage.
