3. Product – SIMDIST D2887

4. SIMDIST Purpose Complete TBP analysis
Establish Boiling Point Curve for petroleum fraction
Product value ($$)
Product compliance – measurement is often mandatory!
90%OFF is essential to ensure product is OK.
Reference Method: D86 (very old, 70+yrs)

5. SIMDIST Principle Gas Chromatography key attributes
Boiling Point Separation
FID mass detector
Retention time vs Boiling Point.
Run Calibration Curve: n-parrafins C5-C44 (Carbon # vs BP)
Run Blank: establish clean baseline for subtraction.
Run Reference Sample: signal vs RT  %mass vs BP
Run Unknown Samples, same as Reference.
Report %Mass vs BP, fractions (i.e. 90% OFF)

10. SIMDIS – Value Proposition

11. Value Proposition SIMDIST D2887, ISO3925, IP406
Dedicated Solution
Designed, Built, Tested & Documented to method
Platform Options;
436 Smallest Footprint
456 Flexible Platform - Allows dual method (e.g. D D7096)
Accuracy - Trusted data, Maximum Product Value!
Proven Results
Software for automation, calculus, reporting
Better ROI / Lower Cost of Ownership
Fast Cycle Times – especially with D2887 Accelerated!
Low maintenance
Compliancy to Method
D2887 Procedures A+B (both can be run using same column)

12. SIMDIST - Options

13. D2887 or D2887 Accelerated? D2887 has 2 procedures (since 2018):
Procedure A: Classic Method. 10M*0.53*2.65µm
Procedure B: Accelerated – faster programming of GC oven, 10M*0.53*0.88µm
Differences A vs B
Runtime: A is 35 mins, B is about 8 mins
Scope: B will also allow for Biodiesels up to B20. Procedure A is not used for Biodiesels
Bias: Small bias between A and B. Method specifies and one may correct.
Precision: Comparable
Full details in Method
Both D2887 available in Scion.
In many cases, Accelerated is perfectly fine for customer (and therefore recommended)!
Switching between regular and Accelerated always possible

22. SIMDIST - Things to remember!
Obsolete methods
D3710 (7096) and D5307 withdrawn.
D2887 procedure A vs B (accelerated)
Faster
Small bias (due to Temp programming)!
Compliancy
Methods are standardized for a particular product type, IBP/FBP!
Biodiesel blends could impair results (also for D86)
Local Governing
Local body will mandate physical or GC or both allowed.

23. Other Solutions/Methods
Physical Distillation
D86
Local regulations always will dictate what method to use!!
8612 GC method
DHA style method, modeling to D86 (Fugacity model).
D86 Gr 1/2 only
Gasoline + Blends, Naphtha. Not suitable for Jet/Bio/Diesel)
Correlation to D86
Fast method (8 mins)
Non-standardized method!

24. D2887 vs D86 Physical Distillation
SIMDIST
Automatable
Safe
Easy to learn
Very Simple hardware
Better precision of data
(typically 2-3x better ).
Wider BP range / application range
TBP correlation
D86
Standard method – golden reference
True TBP.
Safety precautions required.
Lower productivity, no automation
Manual operation, attended
Cost effective hardware
higher afterward labor…
Requires vacuum for Higher Temps
cannot do crudes.

25. Competitive LandscapeGC
436 smallest footprint in market
456 for dual channel / dual method SIMDIS (or even triple…)
All (D)EFC – Retention Time Specification comparable to other brands!
Sampler
Tray Heating/Cooling (for very volatile/viscous samples!)
Dual/Duplicate capability
Sampler really is required for SIMDIS
Compass w Eclipse
Easiest to use & learn
Dedicated Plugins for SIMDIS reporting
