Press Release Details

GALVESTON, Texas, Oct. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- At the Gulf Coast Conference, Bruker announces the launch of theS2 POLAR^™, a new multi-element benchtop analyzer based on polarized Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF). TheS2 POLARoffers the same excellent analytical precision for quality control in the petrochemical industry, which is typically only achieved by more expensive Wavelength Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (WDXRF) instruments.

TheS2 POLAR分析了超低硫(摘要内容和achieves detection limits in the sub-ppm range for gasoline, kerosene, and diesel. Its performance exceeds various international norms and regulations, making theS2 POLARalso suitable for future requirements. With its capability to measure multiple elements simultaneously, including chlorine for corrosion prevention and phosphorus against residue build-up, theS2 POLARis well suited for the analytical demands of refineries, as well as for the downstream supply chain of pipelines, oil terminals and petrol stations. Remarkably, theS2 POLARcombines the performance of several single-element analyzers in a single powerful benchtop instrument.

Another application requiring the high precision of theS2 POLARis at oil manufacturers and oil blenders, where the measurement of additives in lubricating oils, e.g. magnesium, calcium, zinc, and molybdenum, is important for the efficient use of additives and the minimization of production costs.

TheS2 POLARdelivers compliant analysis for all relevant ASTM, DIN, IP, JIS, and ISO norms. Bruker's multilingualTouchControl^™interface and factory calibrated application packages for the ASTM norms D7220, D4294, D6481, and D7751 ensure "plug-and-play" operation. ItsSampleCare^™component protection supports high instrument uptime and robustness.

Frank Portala, EDXRF Product Manager of Bruker AXS, commented: "The performance for multi-element analysis of virtually all petrochemical products in a compact benchtop instrument makes theS2 POLARthe perfect choice for refineries, petrochemical producers, and oil manufacturers. Its excellent precision enables the analysis of ULS fuels, and quality control of additives in oils. With theS2 POLAR, Bruker further extends its strong commitment to XRF applications in the petrochemical industry."
