PARAFUEL™
Comprehensive Fuel and Crude Oil
Analysis through NIR Spectroscopy

The ParaFuel™ NIR Process analyzer from LT Industries provides comprehensive inline analysis of Diesel,
Gasoline, Jet Fuel, Kerosene, Crude Oil, Blending components and Blended Fuels for a wide range of critical
properties including Octane, Distillation Points or RVP. The analyzer is also available in a benchtop version
designed to improve efficiency when testing in laboratories.
