Additive Screening Method

This project was put in place to develop the methodology necessary to detect, identify and quanitify trace levels of additives commonly used in the production, transportation and refining industries. A methodology has been developed that is capable of doing this for most common additive classes. The project scope was expanded to include publication of the analytical method so that it's existence becomes known throughout the industry.

 

CCQTA - ASTM D664 TAN Method Modifications For Bitumen Samples

One of the deliverables of the CCQTA TAN project was the identification of the necessary modifications to the existing TAN method that would allow it to be applied to bitumens and heavy oils in a precise and reproducible fashion. The results of this work have been made available for public download and it is our hope that these modifications will be applied by commerical and private laboratories performing this work.
