Chromatography

HIGGS BOSON provides a range of liquid and gas chromatography solutions for the global petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries. In petroleum and petrochemicals, determination of boiling range distribution by gas chromatography is one of the most commonly used means of characterizing hydrocarbons and their different formulations. It is fast, reliable, and fully compliant with multiple international simulated distillation methods.

Advanced Analysis Improves Plant Productivity

The petroleum and petrochemical industries face many challenges, including an ever-increasing need to improve plant productivity, environmental regulations dictating fuel composition, and continuous downsizing of refinery resources.

Specialized Turnkey Solutions

Boson uses chromatography techniques to build analyzers modeled on the customer selectable GC platforms that can qualify and quantify the components in the samples that our customers are interested in detecting. Boson uses the Customized gas (and liquid) chromatography platforms to build units into specialized turnkey systems. Over the past few years, these complete (hardware, software and analytical) solutions have been dedicated to the refining and petrochemical industry, but they are not exclusive to these markets. Boson employs gas chromatography and also provides solutions based on liquid chromatography (HPLC).

For some analyzers, special software is required to control the unit, or perform dedicated/specialized tasks and calculations. Boson develops its own software, such as Reformulyzer, Simdis, DHA and Gas Analysis. In-house development of these software tools gives Boson full control over these instruments and their applications. All systems are completely assembled, tested, and calibrated before being shipped to our customers. Then a qualified engineer (HIGGS BOSON or distributors/service providers) installs the system and familiarizes the customer. This ensures that the system is performing in accordance with customer requirements and that it will continue to perform accordingly. The advantage to the customer is not just the analyzer itself, since there are competitive systems available on the market, but rather the company behind the solution and the customer. This is HIGGS BOSON: not a single entity, but a global and stable company. This structure enables HIGGS BOSON to continue to support end users and their systems, both older and newer, even if those systems were custom configurations.

Maintaining A Competitive Edge

Boson offers both standard and custom analyzers and solutions utilizing chromatography techniques. Some of these standard analyzers are truly unique, such as the Reformulyzer and Biodiesel All in One.
