Compliance with the ASTM method at low concentrations sulfur. Sulfur is a major element of importance because it forms sulfuric acid in the atmosphere when burned and has harmful impact on the human health and on the environment. In the mid-2000`s, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began a program to greatly reduce the amount of Sulfur in petroleum products. The current allowable sulfur limit in vehicle fuel is 15 ppm (parts per million). To reduce the pollution coming from vessels the international maritime Organization (IMO) established new limits on emission of sulfur oxides. In Emission Controlled Areas the sulfur limit will be 0.1 % starting 2015. The continued strategy by EPA and IMO to reduce the amount of sulfur in petroleum products put a great demand on sulfur monitoring in fuel and oil products.

The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most regulated industries. Contaminants in drug products are examined throughout the manufacturing process, since their presence affects drug stability, behaviour and toxicity. Therefore, regulatory bodies such as the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) and the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) strictly enforce continuous and ongoing analysis of organic or inorganic impurities from raw materials, excipients and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) through intermediates of drug products and packaging.

Oil and fuel analysis - compliance with ASTM standard methods and other regulations. Xenemetrix state-of-the-art ED-XRF analyzers offer solutions for the Petroleum & Petrochemical analysis that comply with ASTM standards and regulations. Our superior solutions cover the full production process, starting from research & development up to process and quality control.

During the manufacturing process, cosmetic products need to be chemically analyzed to ensure conforming to product specification and safety regulations, as well as achieving cost-effectiveness in the manufacturing process. Using ED-XRF allows measuring a wide range of elemental concentrations such as C(6)-Fm(100), without a need for sample preparations(heating or destroying the sample). Samples can be measured in the form of loose powders or powders pressed into pellets, and are made ready for measuring within seconds.
