Parafuel Crude Oil Analyzer

ParaFuel™ systems from LT Industries help you get quick and easy
measurements of your crude oil properties. LT-NIR analysis takes
only seconds and provides many key properties. Whether you need
online analysis, or a desktop analyzer, LT Industries has the
solution. Below are just some of the properties the ParaFuel
systems can do for you in the lab and in-process.

Improve your Laboratory Efficiency

Benchtop Systems from LT Industries can measure key chemical
and physical properties rapidly and accurately. Reduce your lab
expenses and testing times compared to traditional assays. The
simple test procedure allows for greater experimental repeatability—
and it does not require special operator skills. The Parafuel
Analyzer can measure key oil properties throughout the refining
process

In-Process Quality Measurements

LT-NIR Process Systems provide the same high quality
measurements directly in process. Monitor changing process
conditions in real time and adjust as necessary. With the capability
to measure 20 points with a single analyzer, gain knowledge of the
whole process. Validate quality and performance at all stages—
from crude samples at the well, to downstream refining. Improve
your process knowledge and control.
