Petrochemistry is a process in which basic products are generated using oil and natural gas as raw materials in order to produce base set of chemical compounds (derivatives) for diverse related industries, such as synthetic fibers and synthetic resins. In Japan, naphtha is mainly used as the raw material for this process. In other countries, however, less expensive manufacturing of derivatives such as ethylene manufacturing from non-naphtha materials (e.g., shale gas and coal).

Fracking is a technique where liquids and a proppant is pushed into a drilled cavity. The high pressure fractures the rock, which releases oil and natural gas. Proppants keep the rock open and allow flow of these materials out of the rock for collection and processing. A common proppant is sand, which is carefully taken and processed to ensure purity as well as correct shape and size. The Analysette 28 is a dynamic image analyzer, which takes pictures to measure particle size and shape.

在当前的环境保护背景下，石油产品中硫的监测是一个重要课题。事实上，在燃烧过程中，硫会导致酸雨和颗粒物排放，从而引发环境和健康问题。如果说几十年来工业和车辆排放一直是硫排放控制的主要目标，那么新的目标就是海上航行。目前，在这一领域，硫的含量由MARPOL（国际公约）附件六规定。对于这一具体规定，我们SLFA系列的技术和测量范围完全适合于快速准确地测定海洋石油中的硫。我们的紧凑型SLFA-60可在船上使用，SLFA-6800及其自动取样器（八个位置）将提高管理实验室的检测效率。
