In order to restrict the amount of sulfur present in petrochemical products, especially oils such as gasoline, diesel and lubricating oil, it has become a critical environment protection program in the international society. When too much sulfur is present in the fuels, it reacts with the air dissolved in fuel and reduces its stability. Furthermore, in the burning process of fuels, Sulfur causes erosion of the engine’s fuel system. In addition, sulfur dioxide (SO2) generated in the burning process poses substantial damage to the environment.
Therefore, sulfur control in the fuels aroused great concern all over the world.

To meet the demand of elemental analysis of petrochemicals in the current market, we have launched QualiX-SU-II x-ray fluorescence spectrometer. QualiX-SU-II uses the physical test method, i.e. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, to measure the content of the sulfur present in the petrochemicals. Its features include rapid, precise, minimum human error and minimum sample preparation, QualiX-SU-II is crucial to determine whether the petrochemical products comply with the environmental regulations.
Sulfur is a hazardous substance both mechanically and environmentally. This is because sulfur causes corrosion and rust on metallic parts in engines and the emission of sulfur dioxide can cause huge environmental problems. XRF can be utilized to prevent these problems by analyzing different products that are being used with certain types of equipment.
