Technical Principles

Biofuel stability is crucial for maintaining the fuel's performance over extended storage periods. The stability of biofuel, particularly biodiesel, is influenced by factors such as oxidation, microbial contamination, temperature, and exposure to air and light. Oxidative stability refers to the fuel's resistance to reactions with oxygen, which can lead to the formation of peroxides and acids, negatively affecting fuel quality. Microbial stability pertains to the prevention of microbial growth that can cause clogging of fuel filters and corrosion of engine components.

Technical Means

Biofuel Stability Analysis employs a range of sophisticated techniques:

Oxidation Stability Analysis: We utilize the Rancimat method, ASTM D2274, and EN 14112 to evaluate the oxidative stability of biofuels. The Rancimat method involves accelerating the oxidation process by heating the fuel under a constant stream of air and measuring the induction period until a significant increase in the rate of oxidation occurs.

Microbial Stability Testing: This involves assessing the presence and potential growth of microorganisms in the fuel. Techniques such as the ASTM D6469 standard test method and microbial inoculation assists in analyzing microbial contamination and assessing the effectiveness of biocides.

Accelerated Aging Study: Our accelerated aging studies simulate prolonged storage conditions to assess the long-term stability of biofuels. This involves storing the fuel at elevated temperatures and monitoring changes in chemical composition over time.
Thermal Analysis: We employ Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) to analyze thermal stability, decomposition temperatures, and weight loss associated with volatile components.

Chemical Composition Analysis: Techniques like Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) are used to identify and quantify the chemical constituents of biofuels.

Application Areas

The biofuel stability analysis service is vital for various sectors including:

Fuel Production: Ensuring the production of high-quality biofuels that meet international standards and perform efficiently over their usable life.
