Popular Measurements and Applications
- Biodiesel (FAME) in Diesel Blends
- Free Fatty Acids (FFA’s)
- Cold Filter Plug Point
- Ester and Methanol Content
- Measure Oil Sands properties (Bitumen, Water and Solids)
- Monitor % Methanol and other contaminants in Crude

Online Advantages
ParaFuel Analyzers can also measure the same Biodiesel properties directly in process. Results can be fed to control systems which can help optimize processes. An investment in an LT-NIR system can provide process knowledge that is critical in maximizing process efficiency which in turn reduces the cost of production. Gain an advantage over other producers with total process analysis.
- Optimize Transesterification Unit to Maximize Conversion and Methanol Recovery
- Online Measurement of Incoming Oil Quality
- Monitor Biodiesel Blending and B20 blending
- Validation of 100% of Biodiesel product for ASTM or EN properties
