Total elemental combustion analysis is a vital method for accurately determining elemental composition in fuels, chemicals, and materials. It provides essential data on carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, and other key elements, enabling laboratories and industrial facilities to optimize quality control, compliance, product performance, and process efficiency across multiple applications.
PAC’s total elemental combustion system offers fully automated, high-precision analysis, minimizing human error and operator-dependent variability. The system ensures accurate quantification of trace and major elements, providing reproducible results across a wide range of sample types including solids, liquids, powders, and complex mixtures, supporting both research and industrial applications.
Advanced combustion technology allows complete oxidation of sample matrices, converting all elements into measurable forms while maintaining accuracy and minimizing interferences. High-temperature furnaces, precise oxygen flow control, and integrated detection sensors ensure consistent elemental conversion and accurate measurement, even for challenging or reactive samples.
The system accommodates heterogeneous and challenging samples such as crude oil, fuel blends, polymers, and chemical mixtures with varying viscosity and composition. Its robust design ensures that volatile, refractory, and trace components are accurately analyzed, maintaining sample integrity and achieving fully representative results for critical quality control applications.
Automated sample handling and controlled combustion protocols improve laboratory throughput and reduce operator intervention. Minimal sample size requirements, combined with high sensitivity detection, allow efficient analysis of multiple samples while preserving valuable, rare, or hazardous materials, ensuring both safety and productivity.
Integrated data management features provide seamless connectivity with laboratory information management systems (LIMS), enabling traceable sample documentation, automated reporting, and comprehensive quality verification. Built-in calibration, validation routines, and real-time monitoring further ensure compliance with international standards such as ASTM, ISO, and EN for elemental analysis.
Total elemental combustion analysis is critical for fuel certification, environmental monitoring, and materials research. Accurate elemental data supports formulation optimization, regulatory compliance, and process improvements, providing laboratories and industrial operations with actionable insights into sample composition, product performance, and long-term stability.
By combining automation, high-precision combustion, and advanced detection technologies, PAC’s elemental analysis system delivers reproducible, reliable, and detailed results.
