Ethanol, Water Content, Acidity

Alternative fuels are derived from renewable sources such as vegetable and animal oils; ethanol from sugar or cellulose; solar radiation from the sun, and from other sources of energy not derived from fossil fuels. Biodiesel and ethanol are two renewable energy sources In the fuel marketplace worldwide. These energy sources are added to refined fossil fuels such as diesel fuel, home heating oil, and gasoline. To ensure that these blended fuels meet alternative fuel standards set by the industry, analytical testing should be performed before these fuels reach the consumer. Dexsil Corporation has developed on-site test kits to meet some of these needs.

TOTAL WATER IN FUEL

The Hydroscout® Analyzer System is a quick, easy way to quantify the water content in biodiesel, gasoline, or fuel oils within a range from 50 ppm to 10,000 ppm (1%). Hydroscout is a calcium hydride test method that is simple to use with no messy clean-up. The hand-held Hydroscout meter is menu-driven and displays results on an LCD screen.

BIODIESEL ACID NUMBER

Titra-Lube® TAN test kits measure free fatty acid content of biodiesel from 0 - 2 KOH/gram of sample. Each individually packaged kit includes everything needed to complete one test in less than 5 minutes.

PERCENT ALCOHOL IN GASOLINE

Quant-N-Ol® is a quick, simple test to accurately determine the alcohol content of gasoline from 0 - 90% in less than 2 minutes.
