The CFPP Process Analyzer CFPP-4.2 Fig. 3.1: The CFPP Process Analyzer CFPP-4.2 The analyzer CFPP-4.2 measures the cold filter plugging point (CFPP, temperature limit value for filterability) online in a fully automated process. The measuring range is from - 35°C to +10°C. A sample stream and a calibration stream can be connected (additional components required).
The cold filter plugging point (CFPP) of a petrochemical product is an important indicator for the behavior of that product at low temperatures. The analyzer CFPP-4.2 is designed for monitoring and controlling the production process and the composition of blends such as diesel fuels and heating oils.
