Overview

EN 13131:2000 is a European Standard developed by CEN that defines a precise method for the determination of nickel and vanadium content in liquid petroleum products. The standard employs atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) to accurately measure the concentration of these metals when present in amounts greater than 5 mg/kg. This method is essential for quality control and regulatory compliance within the petroleum industry, ensuring that metallic contaminants in fuels and oils are reliably quantified.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application
  EN 13131:2000 applies specifically to liquid petroleum products containing nickel and vanadium above 5 mg/kg. These metals can impact refining processes and product quality, making their measurement critical.

• Analytical Technique
  The standard specifies the use of atomic absorption spectrometry, a widely accepted analytical method for detecting trace metals due to its sensitivity and accuracy.

• Mass Fraction Representation
  The document uses the notation "% (m/m)" to represent the mass fraction of nickel and vanadium in the tested samples.

• Safety Considerations
  The standard highlights potential hazards involved in sample handling and spectrometric analysis, emphasizing the need for appropriate safety protocols during testing.

Applications

• Quality Control in Petroleum Refining
  Nickel and vanadium can poison catalysts and affect refinery operations. Measuring these metals allows refineries to monitor feedstock quality and optimize processing.

• Environmental Compliance
  Controlling the levels of nickel and vanadium in petroleum products helps meet environmental regulations and reduce emissions from combustion engines.

• Additive and Contaminant Analysis
  Nickel and vanadium content determination assists in identifying contamination sources or verifying the presence of metal-based additives.

• Research and Development
  Labs engaged in fuel formulation analyze metal content to study effects on product stability and combustion characteristics.
