  • Benefits

    • High Quality GC Hardware - All SimDist Analyzers are based upon the Agilent GC configured with dedicated columns, inlets and detectors.

    • Complete Analyzer Range - The SimDist analyzers comply with all standard test methods of ASTM, DIN, EN, IP and ISO to provide a boiling point distribution up to 750°C.

    • Dedicated SimDist Inlet - The Programmable Temperature Inlet developed by Da Vinci optimizes the peak shape and makes the column/liner connection easier.

    • Proven software platform - The analyzers include the PetroReporter software that automates the data processing and reporting of the properties of petroleum streams. PetroReporter is successfully used by a global installed base of leading oil refineries.

    • Accurate characterization of crude oils - To improve the boiling point characterization of crude oils the DVLS PetroReporter merges the High Temp SimDist with a capillary GC (DHA) analysis.
    • Application Guarantee - Each analyzer is tested according to the in-house testing procedures to check the system performance and to verify the analyzer specification by a reference sample test. Factory Acceptance Test will be scheduled upon request.
  • Configuration

    The SimDist analyzers are based upon the Agilent GC configured for a test method with the required hardware and software components:

    • GC programmable temperature sample inlet (PTI)
    • GC column
    • Calibration, reference or QC samples
    • PetroReporter software.

    Improved SimDist analysis with Dedicated inlet 

    The DVLS Programmable Temperature Inlet is a dedicated SimDist inlet that:

    • Allows direct injectionDVLS PTI
    • Provides stable blank runs
    • Minimizes carry over
    • Has no dead volume
    • Avoids discrimination of heavy components

    The DVLS PetroReporter is a universal software tool that automates data processing of petroleum samples. After data processing PetroReporter creates the required SimDist reports. Some examples are: Alkane profile report, cut point distribution report, distillation reports and correlation reports.
