Group-type quantitation of hydrocarbons in jet fuel using GCxGC–FID (ASTM Method D8396)

Originally presented at Gulf Coast Conference, 2023

The poster titled “Group-type quantitation of hydrocarbons in jet fuel using GCxGC–FID (ASTM Method D8396)” was presented by SepSolve Analytical at Gulf Coast Conference, Galveston, 10-11 October 2023.

Accurate hydrocarbon composition of finished fuels, such as aviation fuel, is required to ensure quality control and to determine the effects of processes in fuel production. This has become even more important with the development of novel renewable fuels, such as sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs).

Unfortunately, the complexity of such fuels makes this a challenging prospect for conventional 1D GC, leading to inaccurate or incomplete characterisation. ASTM Method D8396 addresses this issue by employing comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection (GCxGC–FID) for enhanced separation and precise quantitation.

This poster illustrates how GCxGC–FID using the INSIGHT-Flow modulator and automated group-type data processing in ChromSpace software can provide fast and accurate quantitative information on hydrocarbon composition.
