High temperature simulated distillation (ex. ASTM D7169, IP 545, EN 15199-2,-3) does not provide a complete and accurate boiling point distribution. That’s because the ‘front end’ boiling point distribution is distorted by the quenching effect of the carbon disulfide solvent (CS2) which co-elutes with the light components in crude oil. For many years, users of SimDis Expert have been able to overcome this problem because they’ve been able to use a built-in tool which ‘merges’ the distillation data generated by detailed hydrocarbon analysis with the data produced by simulated distillation. By merging the two distillation curves the boiling point distribution is much more indicative of the true boiling point (TBP).

This merging tool is now available as a free stand alone application called Merge Expert™.
