WEBINAR RESOURCES

Chemicals Symposium - Hydrocarbon Processing Industry (HPI) Hub

Introduction

In this Virtual Chemicals Testing summit, the series of webinars and resources are focused on overcoming the challenges of todays hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) and petrochemical oil and gas products quality testing.

Global scientific and industry leaders and academic and government scientists share their work, insights, and visions for the future of HPI. Presentations are shared from speakers and world-class contract labs such as SGS and InnoTech Alberta, and technological leaders such as Optical Control Systems (OCS), VUV Analytics and PerkinElmer.

As a global analytical solutions leader with proven technologies and experience in refining and natural gas labs, PerkinElmer's is pleased to bring you this forum for engagement with HPI testing customers and industry professionals.

Evolution of Solving Problems in Live Crude Streams InnoTech Alberta

Evolution of Solving Problems in Live Crude Streams - InnoTech Alberta

Presented by Chris Goss, Research Technologist at InnoTech Alberta presents methods development to achieve an accurate composition of crude with GC, without loss of the volatile components. This presentation explores several methods developed to accurately measure the volatile components of live crude oil.

Olefins Detection in Bitumen by GC-VUV - InnoTech Alberta

Olefins Detection in Bitumen by GC-VUV – InnoTech, Alberta

Chris Goss, Research Technologist at InnoTech Alberta, presents on cutting-edge technology for processing bitumen, heavy oil, and tailings and discusses utilizing the universal vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectroscopic detector to achieve detection limits, method dynamic range, and accuracy for the identification, and deconvolution of olefins.

Detecting Organic Chlorides in Crude Oil by GC and XSD Detector - InnoTech Alberta

Detecting Organic Chlorides in Crude Oil by GC and XSD Detector - InnoTech Alberta

Chris Goss, Research Technologist at InnoTech Alberta presents the use of GC-XSD to eliminate the need for several sample preparation steps like distillation and sample washing as well as sample handling steps. Significant reductions in sample handling minimize the chance of false positives by olefin production and subsequent reactions during distillation.

White Paper: Hydrocarbon Processing Industry Trends, Challenges & Lab Solutions

As a follow-up to the HPI Summit, we sat down with leaders from SGS, Teresa Ruiz-Escribano and Arjan Praat, to mine their knowledge of HPI analytical laboratory trends and challenges. SGS, a global leader in testing, inspection and certification solutions for HPI companies, discusses top trends and challenges and the ways in which companies are adapting their laboratory programs in response.

Alternative Carrier Gases for ASTM Methods

Alternative Carrier Gases for ASTM Methods

Lee Marotta and Leeman Bennington of PerkinElmer present on the investigation of alternative GC carrier gases. Helium, a common carrier gas in gas chromatography (GC), is seeing rising costs and regional shortages, giving way to investigations of alternative carrier gases. This presentation focuses on meeting ASTM criteria using hydrogen and nitrogen and comparing these results to helium.
