1. Introduction
There is an increasing demand for fast and accurate analysis of unwanted contaminants such as Sulfur and
Nitrogen in the worldwide Hydrocarbon Processing Industry (HPI).
The overall Sulfur content of crude oil coming into the refineries has been increasing since 1985. Sulfur
analysis in crude oil is very important because it causes difficulties, such as corrosion of metals, in processing
the oil and because of air pollution from the burning of fuels processed from crude oils having high Sulfur
content. Sulfur compounds can also poison catalysts causing downtime and loss of revenue. In order to
process higher Sulfur crude oils, equipment must be built from more expensive alloys to provide higher
corrosion resistance.
The past decade new emission regulations (air quality improvement programs) have passed to decrease the
amount of Sulfur in finished products. In a huge number of countries the Sulfur content in Gasoline & Diesel
has been reduced to a level of less than 10 ppm. Due to these new Sulfur regulations, there have been
several techniques that have appeared on the market to measure individual Sulfur compounds and total
Sulfur at trace level in fuels.
There is a need for Nitrogen testing in refineries as some Nitrogen compounds can form salts that can cause
heat exchanger fouling, blocking filters within the refinery process. Nitrogen compounds can also
temporarily deactivate catalysts used in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units. Production may have to run at
lower rates (less profit) if the FCC unit is offline. Wastewater may contain high levels of Nitrogen. Excessive
release to the environment can lead to build up of nutrients, affecting the water quality.
The ElemeNtS analyzer combines the testing of Sulfur and Nitrogen for monitoring and protecting key
processes in the refining industry, examples of processes are listed below:
▪ Corrosion protection
→ Protect refinery parts and electronics against corrosive effects of Sulfur
▪ Catalyst protection
→ Sulfur and Nitrogen may act as a catalyst poison in the refinery industry
▪ Environmental protection
→ Protect people, animals, plant and aquatic life from the harmful effects of Sulfur & Nitrogen
in the environment
▪ Employee protection (reduced sampling handling)

→ Automates sample preparation, reducing exposure potential to hazardous material

2. System description
PAC ElemeNtS is the most advanced, analytical system available for the detection of total Nitrogen and/or
total Sulfur content in liquid, or gaseous materials. Three configurations are available: ElemeNtS-N for
Nitrogen analysis, ElemeNtS-S for Sulfur analysis and ElemeNtS N-S for simultaneous Nitrogen and Sulfur
analysis.
The ElemeNtS detects these substances through a uniquely efficient process that includes Ultra Violet
Fluorescence (UVF) and Chemiluminescence (CLD). The ElemeNtS includes numerous benefits, including:
• Analyzes a Wide Application Range all in One Instrument

o Quick Analysis of Various Sample Types for a variety of industries, including Hydrocarbon
fractions, chemicals, foods and beverages, etc.
o ElemeNtS can analyze liquids, LPG’s and gases quickly and accurately
o Long term stability for continuous use
• Automation and Stable Operation Reduce Operator Intervention

o Factory tuned and tested analyzer; the analyzer will be factory tested with a number of
Reference standards (like gasoline & diesel).
o High capacity liquid autosampler (324 samples) reduces need for operators to be present
when running samples
o Long term stability reduces calibrations by operators for any measurement range
o Wide dynamic range means user can run samples with a broad concentration range (10 4)
utilizing a single calibration and method, which minimizes running samples under
multiple methods/instruments
o Control and processing are accomplished by an embedded PC and microprocessor
controller.

3. Theory of Operation
The principle of operation for Nitrogen and Sulfur analysis begins with the complete, high-temperature
oxidation of the entire sample matrix illustrated in Equation (1). The sample is combusted with Oxygen at
a temperature of 1050ºC. Oxidation products include CO 2, H2O, NO, SO2, and various other oxides (designated
MOX below). The combustion gases are routed through a membrane drying system to remove all the water
and then to the Sulfur and/or Nitrogen detector module(s) for quantitation.
R-N + R-S + O2 → CO2 + H2O + NO + SO2 + MOX (1)
Nitrogen and Sulfur calibration standards are analyzed to produce calibration curves. When samples of
unknown Nitrogen and/or Sulfur content are analyzed, the ElemeNtS software compares the raw sample
data to the calibration curve to generate and report Nitrogen and/or Sulfur concentrations.
Sulfur: principle of operation
SO2 in the combustion gases is exposed to ultraviolet radiation of a specific wavelength as shown in Equation
(2) and excited to a higher energy state. Decay to ground state emit radiation in the form of Sulfur
fluorescence. This fluorescence is detected by a photomultiplier tube (PMT) and is proportional to the
amount of Sulfur in the original sample.
SO2 + hνex → SO2* → SO2 + hνem (2)
Nitrogen: principle of operation
In Equation (3), the NO is reacted with O3 (ozone), produced by an onboard ozone generator, to form NO 2*
(excited Nitrogen dioxide). As the metastable species decays, a photon of light is emitted at specific
wavelengths and detected by a photomultiplier tube (PMT). This chemiluminescent emission is specific for
Nitrogen and is proportional to the amount of Nitrogen in the original sample. Only chemically bound
Nitrogen is detected — atmospheric, diatomic Nitrogen (N2) is not.
NO + O3 → NO2* + O2 → NO2 + hνem + O2 (3)

General system flow diagram

Note: The ozone generator and scrubber are only used in combination with the Nitrogen detector option.

Nitrogen Interference kit for ElemeNtS
38.00.550
The analysis of total Sulfur in ULSD samples by oxidative combustion followed by UVF detection can
be hindered by interference from certain Nitrogen components. This effect is caused by a cross-
sensitivity to NO, which fluoresces in the same wavelength range as SO2. Depending on the Nitrogen
content of the sample, this can lead to false positive Sulfur results up to 1,7 mg/kg at 160 mg/kg
Nitrogen.
To increase the cetane index of diesel fuels, alkyl nitrates, more commonly 2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate
(2-EHN), is added to the diesel. The relative high Nitrogen concentration might cause a serious
positive bias in the Sulfur determination.
By means of an optimized Sulfur detector the ElemeNtS can efficiently reduce the interference of
these type of compounds without the need of software correction or added ozone supply.
The Nitrogen Interference kit is available as a separate option (23800.550) or build in and factory
tested in the ElemeNtS (38.00.550).
Note: System having the Nitrogen Interference kit will have an LOD of 60 ppbW for Sulfur.

Argon or Helium > 5 bar (75 psig), grade 5.0 or better (99.999%)
Argon: > 200 mL/min
> 5 bar (75 psig), grade 5.0 or better (99.999%)
* Helium may be substituted for Argon as a carrier gas (carrier gas adjustment
is required)
Connections 1/8” Stainless Steel
Oxygen > 600 ml/min, >5 bar (75 psig), grade 5.0 or better (99.999%)
Connection 1/8” Stainless Steel
Gas Supply All gasses must be dry and free of particulate matter.
Filters, gas scrubbers, and dryers are available from PAC and are
recommended in all cases:
Moisture : 5 ppm maximum
