Applications
The unmatched precision, speed and ease of operation make it the preferred analyzer for fuel compliance testing in the QC laboratory, fast at-line refining streams quality follow-up, fuel blending and research applications.
It follows in each detail the requirements of the latest American and European standards ASTM D 5845, ASTM D 6277 and EN 238.
The heart of the system is a patented, rugged interferometer field-proven to be used also in challenging environments. The internal components are mounted on anti-vibration platforms and the truly portable aluminum instrument housing allow for field tests directly at the point of sale.
Additionally ERASPEC is the ultimate solution for the global challenge posed by adulteration, smuggling and dilution in the fuel industry. With the touch of a button ERASPEC provides a detailed spectral analysis of fuels in seconds directly at the point of sale to
• ensure the quality of fuels
• identify contaminations
• protect brand reputations
• assure tax revenues
• prevent impacts on public health, environment and engine

Technical Data
• Detection method: mid-FTIR interferometer (patented rugged design)
• Calibration: factory calibrated with a matrix of several hundred international fuels
• Outlier detection: Unusual samples are identified based on their Mahalanobis distances from the calibration set and are indicated by an alarm message. Additional calibration samples can easily be added without the use of an external PC in 1 minute only.
Users can also easily develop new calibrations for existing parameters as well as create up to 10 new user defined parameters directly on the ERASPEC.
