Hobré C-Quand

Online XRF analyzer for continuous multielement analysis in process liquids

Online XRF Analyzer for Liquids

Hobré C-Quand is an online Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (ED-XRF) analyzer designed for the continuous, non-destructive measurement of chemical elements in liquid streams, from ppm levels up to weight percentages.. It enables simultaneous analysis of elements from Silicon (Z=14) to Uranium (Z=92) with high stability and repeatability.

C-Quand uses a 15 W X-ray source with a silver anode and a high-resolution SDD detector, ensuring high sensitivity even for light elements such as Sulfur and Chlorine.. The integrated auto-validation and auto-correction system eliminates long-term drift and significantly reduces the need for manual intervention.

Thanks to the heated measurement cell and dedicated window materials (Beryllium or Polyimide), C-Quand is suitable for corrosive, viscous or contaminated samples, while maintaining low operating costs and high system availability.

Typical applications

• Sulfur in ULSD, ULSG, kerosene and crude oil
• Chlorine in crude oil and CDU condensates
• Catalyst poisoning metals (HDS, FCC)
• Pipeline monitoring and fuel blending
• Liquid-phase catalytic processes
• Wastewater monitoring
