ENHANCED RESULTS OF DIESEL RANGE ORGANICS ANALYSIS WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE ZEBRON™ INFERNO™ GC COLUMNS - article

Petroleum hydrocarbon analysis is widely performed on soil and water samples to determine the presence and quantified levels of contamination from petroleum fuel products and crude oils. Fuel hydrocarbons are segmented into gasoline and diesel range organic groups (GRO and DRO). DRO compounds have boiling points similar to diesel fuel (C10-C28 ), ranging from 170-430 °C. These heavy compounds are amenable to GC/FID analysis; however, important considerations should be taken to ensure reproducible results over repeated injections.
