The KAM KF Karl Fischer for Determining Moisture in Ethanol and Hydrocarbon Blends

The KAM KF Karl Fischer Moisture Analyzer is a key instrument for detecting low quantities of water in ethanol and hydrocarbon blends per ASTM D7923. Using the coulometric method, the KAM KF meets both repeatability and reproducibility requirements for the standard.

The KAM KF Karl Fischer for Determining Moisture in Biodiesel

Because biodiesel is far more susceptible to water absorption/contamination vs standard diesel, the KAM KF Karl Fischer Moisture Analyzer is key in detecting such contamination in sample analysis per ASTM E1064. Water contamination can come from improper fuel handling or condensation, and it can lead to microbial growth causing issues in storage and equipment, in particular, fuel injection systems. Using the preferred coulometric method, the KAM KF meets both repeatability and reproducibility requirements for the standard.

The unit comes in both portable and laboratory models and uses standard KAM Reagents and accessories in both of these applications. Steps for sampling handling, volume, etc. per ASTM D7923 and ASTM E1064 should be observed at all times. KAM has been manufacturing Karl Fischer coulometric titrators for over 30 years for a wide variety of field and laboratory applications.

A New Standard in Custody Transfer
KAM Controls will once again be participating at COPM this year! We will have product demos at our booth, including our KAM KF Karl Fischer Moisture Analyzer, for water content determination per chapter 10.9 with both lab and field models, and our KAM LRW Low Range Watercut Meter, ideal for truck unloading and other custody transfer applications, with automatic density correction. We look forward to teaching you about our products and procedures and the various challenges around hydrocarbon measurement.

The KAM LRW Low Range Watercut for Measuring Water in Beef Tallow

Excess water in biofuel feedstock has been proven to reduce yield from the transesterification process and is of particular concern in regards to beef tallow. Recommended maximum levels are as low as 0.06%. Therefore, an accurate method of in-line measurement for tallow feedstocks is needed for the biodiesel refining process. The KAM^® LRW™ Low Range Watercut meter successfully measures water in beef tallow up to 5% with a high degree of accuracy. The unit offers multiple installation options depending on line size, but all models include all requisite electronics on the probe itself. The LRW™ also offers AnyDensity™ density compensation to maintain the highest accuracy possible in applications where a live density input is available. It also compensates for the affect of temperature.

The patented and proven microwave technology used in the LRW™ provides industry-leading accuracy. And, high-quality components made and assembled entirely in the USA provide reliable and consistent performance for long-term use. Plus, the unit can easily be calibrated in line.

With insertable and spool/flow through models, the LRW™ also offers installation flexibility that no other unit can match. Fixed insertion models for line sizes 3" and higher install perpendicular to the line through a 1.25" port. No spool or additional vertical run required. Spools can be custom fabricated for lines from 1-2” or for units replacing other models. Spools can also incorporate static mixing elements to ensure a homogeneous flow and manual draw-off valves key for calibration and verification. For large diameter lines over 8", insertable/retractable units are available that can be installed without having to drain the line.

[caption id="attachment_414" align="alignright" width="300"] LRW™ spool model with included static mixer and manual draw off port[/caption] Download LRW Connect Software: Version 1221 - Models SN# 0151 and up A superior option to traditional BS&W meter technologies, the patented KAM^® LRW™ Low Range Watercut meter offers the high accuracy and repeatability of microwave measurement in a package specifically designed for custody transfer and other low-range applications such as LACT units. Unique to the LRW™, AnyDensity™ technology allows the instrument to compensate for any change in density across the entire API gravity range.* Density compensation is paramount in situations where a single truck or rail unloading site could see changes in API gravity from the teens to the 70’s. The patented and proven microwave technology used in the LRW™ provides industry-leading accuracy – as low as ±0.03% up to 3% water content. Using high-quality components made and assembled entirely in the USA provide reliable and consistent performance for long-term use. The unit can also easily be calibrated in line.

[caption id="attachment_228" align="alignright" width="245"] E-IAS™ with 1.25″ NPT mounting[/caption] The KAM E-IAS™ is our electric-drive automatic sampler. Ideal for LACT or other custody transfer applications, the E-IAS™ offers time-based or flow-proportional sampling without pneumatic or hydraulic drive requirements. The E-IAS™ is based off of the same precision probe design as KAM's pneumatic IAS™ Isokinetic Automatic Sampler, which has been in operation for over 30 years. Both are fully compliant with API MPMS 8.2/ASTM D4177 and ISO 3171. The E-IAS™:
- can take up to 20 samples per minute, with sample bite sizes of 0.5 to 2 cc's
- can be installed on lines up to 36"
- model/mounting options include insertable-retractable, 1.25" NPT fixed insertion, flanged fixed insertion, or flow-through spool
- features a positive displacement design better suited for high-paraffin applications
The E-IAS™ can be ordered with the KAM CSS™ Complete Sampling System, which also includes a pipeline mixer, a Sampler Controller, a Sample Receiver, a Weight Scale or Meterizer, and a Circulating Sample Mixer. All delivered with the same quality and quick service that has made KAM a sampling industry leader for over 37 years. The KAM E-IAS™ is a part of a suite of instruments designed for LACT units and other custody transfer applications which also includes the SMP™ Static Mixing Plate and the LRW™ Low Range Watercut meter.
