The BWB SYN FUELS Flame Photometer

BWB Syn Fuels Icon

​

 

This powerful and growing global industry now has the attending facilities for Synthetic Fuels or Bio-Fuels production. For this derivative product BWB Technologies offers a hybridized Flame Photometer we have named Syn Fuels.

​

The BWB SYN FUELS Flame Photometer is the first and only 4 channel flame photometer with simultaneous detection and display of all 4 elements. A high quality and high performance instrument, the BWB SYN FUELS employs modern technology to improve both accuracy and stability while significantly reducing analysis time.

​

The fluid handling sections of the BWB SYN FUELS Flame Photometer
incorporate proprietary engineered thermoplastics that are highly chemically resistant to withstand the solvents encountered in Synthetic Fuels production facilities.

​

The majority of our Global clients purchase a BWB Sugar FES for the
beet or cane refining plant and the Syn Fuels FES for the bio-conversion plant site.  

​

For non Sugar processors embracing Syn Fuels, the BWB XP is typically the BWB FES of interest during the bio-conversion processes.
