There are various types of sulfur analyzers available in the market, each with its own set of features and benefits. These include:
- Total Sulfur Analyzers - These analyzers measure the total sulfur content in fuels, including both organic and inorganic sulfur. They are typically used in refining, petrochemicals, and other industries where accurate and reliable sulfur analysis is critical. The Epsilon 1 Sulfur in fuels analyzer is an example of a total sulfur analyzer that can measure sulfur in fuels.
- Online Sulfur Analyzers - Online sulfur analyzers are designed for continuous monitoring of sulfur levels in fuels. They are ideal for use in refineries and other high-volume operations where real-time monitoring is essential. This equipment is capable of measuring sulfur levels in a wide range of fuels, including diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel.
- Sulfur Detectors - Sulfur detectors are portable devices that are used to detect sulfur compounds in various substances, such as air, water, and soil. They are commonly used in environmental monitoring and research applications to measure sulfur levels in different environments.

Applications of Sulfur Analyzers
Zetium - Oil-Trace: Analysis of sulfur in fuels, bio-fuels and mixtures using a mineral oil calibration
Sulfur analyzers are essential tools in many industries, where they are used to measure sulfur content in a variety of substances, from fuels to chemicals to environmental samples. Some of the applications include:
- Oil and Gas - The oil and gas industry relies heavily on sulfur analysis to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and improve fuel quality. Sulfur analyzers are used to measure sulfur content in crude oil, natural gas, and refined products, such as diesel and gasoline. The Epsilon 1 Sulfur in fuels and Epsilon 1 for ultra-low sulfur have been used in oil and gas exploration and production, as well as refining and distribution. Next to Epsilon 4 and Zetium Petro
- Petrochemicals - The petrochemical industry uses sulfur analysis to monitor sulfur content in various products, such as plastics, chemicals, and fertilizers. Sulfur analyzers can help detect impurities in these products and ensure they meet quality standards. The Epsilon 1 for ultra low sulfur analyzer has been used in petrochemical research and development, as well as quality control and testing.
- Environmental Monitoring - Sulfur analysis is also important in environmental monitoring and research. Sulfur analyzers are used to measure sulfur content in air, water, and soil, which can help identify sources of pollution and monitor environmental impact. The Epsilon 1 sulfur analyzer has been used in environmental research to measure sulfur levels in soil samples.
What to consider before purchasing a sulfur analyzer?
- Sample Types: Consider the types of samples you will be testing, as this will help determine the appropriate analyzer for your needs. For example, if you need to analyze both liquid and solid samples, you may require a different analyzer than if you only need to analyze liquids.
- Accuracy and Precision: Look for an analyzer that offers high accuracy and precision, with low detection limits and excellent repeatability. The Epsilon 1 Sulfur in fuels and Epsilon 1 for ultra-low sulfur analyzers are both known for their high accuracy and precision. However, the best precision and accuracy are achieved with WDXRF of the Zetium series.
- Speed: Consider the analysis time, as this can be an important factor if you need to process a large number of samples quickly. The Zetium series are both designed for fast and efficient analysis at very low levels with the Zetium 4 kW being capable of low level sulfur analysis in just a few seconds.
- Ease of Use: Look for an analyzer that is user-friendly and easy to operate, with intuitive software and a touch-screen interface. The Epsilon 1 Sulfur in fuels and Epsilon 1 for ultra-low sulfur analyzers are both designed to be easy to use.
- Price: Consider the price of the analyzer, as this can vary widely depending on the features and capabilities of the instrument. The Epsilon 1 Sulfur in fuels and Epsilon 1 for ultra-low sulfur analyzers are competitively priced, making them an affordable option for many customers.
- Compliance : Different ISO and ASTM test methods for EDXRF as Epsilon series and WDXRF as Zetium series. See table.
