Wilks Enterprise has introduced a portable infrared analyser that determines the presence of biodiesel in diesel fuel deliveries for standby generators in less than a minute. Weighing less than 5lb, the Infracal analyser can be operated from a battery pack or a cigarette lighter adapter cable, making it suitable for use in a field environment. The ASTM Method D 975 currently allows up to 5% of biodiesel in diesel without the need for content labelling. Therefore it is necessary for operators to determine whether fuel deliveries contain biodiesel. The analyser provides blend ratio measurements of diesel fuel and will detect down to 0.2% biodiesel. An internal calibration table allows the analyser to directly read out the percentage of biodiesel and provides the user with the capability to quickly measure the fuel on site to ensure its purity.
