LECO's Petrochemical Solutions
The petroleum refining process relies on various analytical instruments and methods to ensure smooth operations and high product quality. Gas chromatography - time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOFMS) has become the leading technology for petrochemical analysis due to its fast acquisition, wide mass range, and accurate mass spectra.
At LECO, we offer everything from simple, state-of-the-art GC detectors, all the way to high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometers. We provide the complete A-Z solution for complex characterization as well as simpler needs. Keep scrolling to learn more about LECO’s petrochemical analysis solutions.
