Biodiesel Content

Ensure Fuel Quality with Biodiesel Content Testing

Biodiesel blends power everything from trucks to generators, but getting the mix right is critical. The biodiesel content in diesel fuel—whether it’s B5, B20, or beyond—affects performance, emissions, and engine longevity. Too much or too little can throw off combustion efficiency or fail regulatory standards like ASTM D975 or EN 590. That’s why accurate measurement is a must for blenders, refineries, and distributors to maintain consistency and quality.

Enter the SetaCheck Biodiesel Plus (SA5550-0)—a handheld powerhouse from Lazar Scientific that delivers fast, reliable biodiesel content testing on-site. Using advanced Mid-IR technology, it measures biodiesel levels from 0.1% to 80% in under a minute, requiring just 2 ml of sample. No lab, no fuss—just instant results on a bright screen, perfect for batch checks at terminals or monitoring fuel supplies.

This precision aligns with ASTM D8274, the standard test method for determining biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters) in diesel fuel via portable mid-infrared analyzers. It’s the benchmark for verifying blends stay within spec, ensuring compliance and peace of mind.
