Liquid petroleum products - Determination of hydrocarbon types and oxygenates via multidimensional gas chromatography method - Round Robin research report
This Technical report is published as background information to judge the approval of the use of the method described in EN ISO 22854 for the determination of all oxygenates as mentioned in the European Fuels Directive. Next, this report supports the use of multidimensional chromatography as the method for disputes on oxygenates in EN 228.
This Technical Report first presents the study on the application of EN 14517 to other oxygenates. It supports an extension of the scope of the method, which has been explicitly requested by ISO/TC 28 at the time of revision of EN 14517 and was agreed to result in the parallel Standard EN ISO 22854.
Next, it shows that the scope of the multidimensional chromatography method can be updated without alteration to include petrol with higher oxygen percentages than mentioned in the first edition and will now be applicable for automotive motor gasoline up to and including E10, and that it can also be used for high-ethanol gasoline (also called automotive ethanol (E85) fuel), provided that the sample is diluted with a component that will not interfere with any of the components or group of components that need to be analysed.

Introduction
1)
In 2004, the company AC Analytical Controls conducted a Performance Monitoring Program on the AC
Reformulyzer™. This is a kind of crosscheck program where customers analyse samples distributed by the
company and then report the analysis results. The company checks the analytical performance of the
instruments, keeping in mind the possible analytical errors that can occur. Because raw data are reported
(chromatogram and data for each carbon number/group), a detailed review can be made. The company
informs a customer when the instrument performance is inadequate and where possible provides information
and instructions to improve the performance.
The intention was to get a precision statement for oxygenates that were not included in EN 14517 [2], but that
are listed in EN 228. Besides this, the performance for other properties (aromatics, olefins, benzene) has been
determined.
More information on the review of the data is available from the monitoring, but this technical report focuses
on oxygenates. Results for other properties (aromatics, olefins, benzene) are listed in the tables but are not
discussed in detail here. Also the evaluation for outliers is done on oxygenates only, not on the other
properties.
The precision data obtained from this program were used to develop the EN ISO 22854 method which was
published in 2008 [3].
In 2010 another Round Robin was organized to establish a test method to determine the oxygenated
components in ethanol automotive fuel (E85). Components such as ethers, C3-C5 alcohols and ethanol could
be made part of an E85 specification.
Four methods were tested:
A. EN ISO 22854 modified (with sample dilution)
B. EN 1601 modified (with sample dilution)
C. Capillary column method (2 columns in series, UNGDA method)
D. Capillary column method (2 separate columns, Suedzucker method)
Only method A with sample dilution had enough participants to derive a precision statement. The dilution step
was needed to lower the ethanol content in the sample to values below 20 % (V/V).
The Round Robin was carried out by TC 19/WG 9 and the results were evaluated conform EN ISO 4259. As
methods B, C and D did not get enough participants a 2nd ILS was carried out to see if more data could be
obtained for these methods. The details of these Round Robin Tests are added as Appendix A and B to this
Research Report.

1 Scope
This Technical Report presents the study on the application of EN 14517 [2] to other oxygenates. This report
supports an extension of the scope of the method, which has been explicitly requested by ISO/TC 28 at the
time of revision of EN 14517 and was agreed to result in the parallel Standard EN ISO 22854 [3].
This Technical Report is published as background information to judge the approval of the use of the method
for the determination of all oxygenates as mentioned in the European Fuels Directive. This Technical Report
should also support the use of multidimensional chromatography as the method for disputes on oxygenates in
EN 228 [1].
NOTE For the purposes of this document, the term “% (V/V)” is used to represent the volume fraction.

Greyed cells are classified as an outlier for oxygenates. The results for an entire lab were removed if an outlier in
the oxygenates was found.
After outlier removal (greyed cells in Table 5) the results can be determined as in Table 6.

6.2 Methanol
Methanol results have been found to vary from near zero to the expected level of the sample. The high
response factor of methanol is a contributing factor. The high variance may be due to the pre-column not
being able to retain methanol. This component is not routinely analysed since it does not occur in production
samples at high levels. When found it is usually a remainder of the MTBE production process. The instrument
should be tuned for this component with a gravimetric standard.
The results are plotted in Figure 4. No results have been omitted from the calculation other than the results
where no methanol was found at all.
