| PAH (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) Analysis |
|
| Determination of PAHs in gas,liquid, and solid matrices |
|
| |
Process Chemistry |
|
| Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) exist in petroleum products and byproducts such as gasoline, diesel/jet fuels, lubricant and heating oils, and asphalt. PAHs are also byproducts of all combustions. As a result, PAHs can be found in the exhausts of all engines burning fossil fuels, as well as smokes of any kind. PAHs are ubiquitous especially those of the lower molecular weight ones such as naphthalene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene, etc. Some PAHs are human carcinogens or suspected carcinogens such as benzo(a)pyrene and dibenz(a,h)anthracene which require vigorous monitoring. Detecting PAHs in ambient air and engine exhaust emission samples poses special challenge due to the extremely wide spread of PAH concentrations. For example, the concentration difference between naphthalene and benzo(a)pyrene can be as much as 10,000 times or more. SwRI has developed an elegant proprietary analytical scheme which accurately quantifies all PAHs in the samples. Isotope dilution techni |

| Particle Leak Detection |
|
| Ultra-High Sensitivity Particle Leak Detection from Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs). Particle measurement system capable of detecting solid exhaust particle leaks (cracks, canning defects, fuel-borne catalyst particles, etc.) in high-efficiency exhaust DPFs. The sensitivity of the method is capable of differentiating particle leaks with equivalent mass of much less than one picogram per cubic meter (<<< 1 pg/m3). The solid particle number detection system covers particle size ranging from 5 nanometers (nm) to 1,000 nm, detecting more than 99.9 percent of combustion-generated particles. This measurement technique is suitable for: Drop-to-idle regeneration testing for DPF leak detection, Drop-to-idle regeneration testing for DPF canning leak development, DPF solid particle number efficiency evaluation, DPF inspection and maintenance programs using a defined solid particle concentration threshold, Solid particle number emission measurement, and
Other R&D and QA/QC applications.
