Through the PEFTEC Conference we strive to compliment the exhibition with the latest R&D hot topics for the industry.
Click here to register for conference on analytical techniques used in the petrochemical industry (Day1 Cost : €125+Vat)In the Analytical Techniques sessions of the Conference we aim to bring you the latest developments and trends in analysis in the petrochemical industries through presentations from leading academic and industry experts. The 2 day conference is divided into 4 half day themed sessions which are planned to allow delegates with particular technique interests to be able to cover their topic of interest in the conference and also consult the wide range of complimentary instrument vendors in the exhibition.
The morning session on Day 1 will cover Elemental Analysis and Speciation including trace metal analysis and the speciation of mercury, phosphorus, arsenic and oxygen compounds in a range of petrochemical samples. The afternoon session is dedicated to the latest developments in Mass Spectrometry. The increased availability of affordable, reliable and easy to operate high resolution mass spectrometers when combined with sample ionisation techniques which offer a degree of chemical selectivity has led to the recent dramatic rise in the use of these techniques in the industry. In this session, we bring together some leading researchers in this field from academia and industry covering all the main techniques and their application.
The morning session on Day 2 will cover Separation Science techniques including GC, HPLC and SFC with a focus around multidimensional and hyphenated systems. GC continues to be the most commonly used chromatographic technique in the industry and the application of multidimensional GC techniques will be covered in the first 2 lectures and then followed by a talk on the application of in silico modelling of GC separations. The remainder of the session will cover the application of SFC and HPLC and their combinations to achieve improved separations.

| The final afternoon session will cover spectroscopic techniques and on-line analysis. The spectroscopic session will focus on the rapid rise of Vacuum Ultra-Violet Spectroscopy (VUV) in the industry. VUV is a selective and sensitive detector for hydrocarbon analysis which in a relatively brief time has been widely accepted by the industry and in combination with GC has recently been approved as an ASTM method for the analysis of finished gasoline (ASTM D8071). The application of thermo-gravimetric analysis coupled with infra-red spectroscopy (TGA-IR) for fouling deposit analysis and the application of comprehensive two dimensional GC for on-line analysis will complete the session and the analytical technique conference. | |||||
