(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 25, 2008 ) Madison, Wisc.—June 24, 2008—Bruker AXS today announced a free full-day advanced petrochemical seminar to take place July 17 in The Woodlands, Texas. Attendees will learn how to keep production up to satisfy high demand as oil prices soar, while regulatory compliance mandates ultra low sulfur content, especially in diesel and biodiesel.

How will YOUR lab comply?
As part of our commitment to foster professional advancement for analysts, improve proficiency, reduce cost and enhance quality, Bruker AXS invites you to attend our FREE Bruker Gulf Coast Petrochemical Seminar on Thursday, July 17, 2008. Join us at Bruker in The Woodlands, TX to learn about X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry and how it applies to your work. Hear presentations by Peter Eversley, Charles Taylor, Bernie Squires and other industry professionals as they share their firsthand knowledge and application experiences using XRF in the petrochemical arena.
You will learn about the technology enabling the WD XRF analysis of sulfur to cover more and more matrices and reach ultra low levels. We will show how to increase performance by employing the right tools and procedures. We’ll give you tips on what YOU can do in YOUR lab to achieve better LLD’s and accuracy!
Reviewing and understanding the new draft for the ASTM 2622 procedure covering ULS will enable all participants to be prepared for the challenges ahead. Larry Arias, ASTM D committee member, will answer YOUR questions and explain the new qualification approach.

How is XRF used at BP and LyondellBasell?
These real world case studies also include a presentation of the Consortium of Refineries (COR) initiative for proficiency testing. Are you analyzing correctly? What is your benchmark? How do YOU compare with others? All questions which can be answered if you take part in the COR round robin tests.

Ever wondered what needs to be done to get the oil into the refinery?
From exploration and drilling to production and engineering, Hughes Christensen Central Analytical Facility uses XRF to support the global business of getting the oil out of the ground! A tour of the drill and analytical facility is complemented with the practical application of Standardless e.g. universal quantification in a VERY diverse application field.

The days’ schedule will allow open lab time to explore the Bruker Woodlands facility, as well as ample time to network. Lunch is included.
