Abstract

This application note describes the quantitative
determination of paraffins, iso-paraffins, naphthenes
and aromatics (PINA) in spark ignition fuels by the multidimensional
gas chromatography separation approach
utilized in the Bruker PIONA+™ Analyzer.
The Bruker PIONA+ Analyzer is a comprehensive GC
system that offers the ability to characterize and quantify
the components in a variety of spark ignition fuels according
to an array of industry standard method protocols. The
system is highly flexible and can be operated in one
of multiple method modes depending on the analysis
requirements for a given stream type. For this application,
the system was set up to characterize the PINA content of
spark ignition fuels.
