Diesel and Kerosene Analysis

In both aeronautics and automobiles, fuel has a predominant role in the proper functioning of equipment.
In recent years with the evolution of ecological awareness, many biofuels have appeared and have made it possible to limit greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality, thus reducing their pollution capacity.
Biofuels must meet certain standards and quantities, their volume must be between 0 and 7% in the total volume of the fuel.

Biocarburants
Our team's mission was to analyze the composition of the diesel and kerosene sample in order to get an idea of the proportion of biodiesel in these samples.
GCMS analysis was carried out to identify volatile organic compounds, and it appeared that a very specific biofuel was present in some of these samples: FAME .
Also known as fatty acid methyl esters , it is the most common biofuel in diesel fuel and is used as an alternative to fuel for conventional diesel engines.
They can be obtained from vegetable oils, animal fats or greasy waste.
This biofuel has in addition detergent properties making it possible to suspend the deposit contained at the bottom of the tank and therefore makes it possible to avoid clogging at the level of the engine.
These molecules are also hydrophilic; they trap water which can damage parts of the engine.

Quantification EMAG
Thanks to the GCMS analysis we were able to quantify the FAME content of the samples provided.
This analysis can be carried out with many other biofuels, whether in diesel or kerosene-based fuels, our team is able to respond to your issues of quantification of fuels and biofuels .
