Rigaku - Model NEX XT -Total Sulfur Process Analyzer
Rigaku NEX XT is the next generation process gauge for high-level total sulfur measurement (0.02% to 6% S) of crude, bunker fuel, fuel oils, and other highly viscous hydrocarbons, including residuums. This versatile, compact, and robust X-ray Transmission/Absorption (XRT/XRA) process gauge is specifically optimized for the total sulfur analysis needs of refineries, pipelines, blending operations, and bunkering terminals.- Measure sulfur (S) from 200 ppm to 6 wt%
- Compact design with no routine maintenance
- Up to 1480 psig and 200°C
- User-adjustable data update frequency
- Reduced standards requirements
- No sample condition or recovery system
- No radioisotopes
This versatile, compact, and robust X-ray Transmission / Absorption (XRT / XRA) process gauge is specifically optimized for the total sulfur analysis needs of refineries, pipelines, blending operations, bunkering terminals, and other storage facilities. Applications for the NEX XT include bunker fuel blending to meet MARPOL Annex VI sulfur restrictions, interface detection of different grade fuels delivered via pipelines, refinery feedstock blending and monitoring, and the quality monitoring of crude at remote collection and storage facilities.
For on-line sulfur analysis, Rigaku offers the advanced NEX XT total sulfur gauge for marine fuel blending. With a sulfur detection range of 200 parts-per-million (ppm) to 6 wt%, the NEX XT process analyzer helps ensure MARPOL compliance.
NEX XT delivers on-line, real-time X-ray transmission (XRT) measurement of sulfur in heavy oils, meeting the needs of blending operations supplying marine bunker fuels. Featuring uniquely engineered hardware and novel proprietary software technologies, the NEX XT system is faster, more sensitive, and much more compact than previous generation systems. Rigaku NEX XT provides continuous monitoring of sulfur at pressures up to 1480 psig and up to 200°C in custom configurations. NEX XT operates as a standalone analyzer or provides real-time closed-loop control when tied into a blending or plant-wide automation system.
Among its other key features are a simplified user interface, reduced standards requirement, automatic density compensation, password protection, and a standard platform for communicating sulfur and density to a DCS. Due to its unique design and robust construction, sample conditioning and recovery systems are typically not required.
For complete sulfur analysis needs of refineries, pipelines, blending operations, bunkering terminals, and other storage facilities, the NEX XT process analyzer offers total sulfur measurement for crude, bunker fuel, fuel oils, and other highly viscous hydrocarbons, including residuums.
