eraspec is an advanced FTIR-based fuel analyzer designed for fast, accurate, and comprehensive testing of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, biodiesel, ethanol blends, and other specialized fuels. Using advanced Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, eraspec records the fuel spectrum in the mid-infrared range and delivers more than 40 fuel parameters within seconds from a single measurement.
For gasoline analysis, eraspec measures important properties such as RON, MON, AKI, aromatics, esters, oxygenates, and distillation properties. For diesel fuels, it determines cetane number, cetane improvers, aromatics, biodiesel content, and additional key quality indicators. Jet fuel testing includes the measurement of FAME contamination, flash point, freezing point, smoke point, viscosity, and distillation parameters.
eraspec features eralytics’ unique multi-cell design that automatically adapts to different fuel types. The analyzer includes dedicated measuring cells for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, as well as a reference cell for reagent-free calibration. Optional fourfold cell technology and the NIR/PLS module further enhance performance by extending the spectral range into the near-infrared region, enabling even more accurate determination of RON and MON values.
The analyzer uses advanced chemometric models and extensive fuel libraries to calculate complex fuel properties directly from the measured spectrum. Each eraspec is supplied with a comprehensive international fuel library based on over 1,000 fuel samples from 89 countries, enabling reliable analysis across global fuel standards.
eraspec is also available with integrated density measurement modules compliant with ASTM D4052, ASTM D7777, ISO 12185, and ISO 15212. This allows simultaneous measurement of density, benzene, FAME, and other critical fuel properties in full compliance with international standards.
The Automatic Fuel Recognition (AFR) module enables the analyzer to identify unknown samples automatically and select the correct measurement method for gasoline, diesel, or jet fuel. Optional contamination modules help detect common fuel adulterants and contaminants, making eraspec an ideal solution for laboratories, refineries, fuel terminals, airports, and fuel retail stations.
With its patented FTIR spectrometer design, intuitive touchscreen interface, optional 10-position autosampler, and ultra-fast testing capability, eraspec delivers high-throughput fuel analysis with lab-grade precision in less than one minute.
