Application
The BARTEC BENKE Distillation Process Analyzer (DPA-4) is used for process control
and control of blend composition such as all types of gasoline, feedstock for
petrochemical processes (naphtha), jet fuels, fuel oils, diesel fuels, similar petroleum
products and liquid hydrocarbons with a maximum final boiling point below its thermal
decomposition.

Method
100 ml of sample which is stirred with nitrogen is distilled in
an open flask with pre-selected (programmable) heating time.
The evaporated sample passes through a temperature
controlled water-cooled condenser.
