The liquid is decanted off <br /> and the process is repeated with an additional 50 ml of methylene chloride. <br /> -' The combined solvent extracts are filtered through sodium sulfate and the <br /> extract is concentrated to a 5 ml final volume. <br /> GC ANALYSIS - <br /> An appropriate volume of the sample extract is injected into a Gas <br /> Chromatograph equipped with a Flame Ionization Detactor (FID), a split/ <br /> ►� splitless capillFry injector (operated in the splitless mode), and a fused <br /> silica capillary column. The TPH fraction is quantitated as gasoline and/or <br /> j #2 diesel fuel (and/or different petroleum hydrocarbon fuel types if. <br /> requested, such as 3P-4 jet fuel) based on relative retention times and <br /> examination of the alution profile. The TPH fraction quantitation is based <br /> on chromatographic peak areas against a multipoint standard curve. <br /> i ' <br /> bm <br /> 4 <br /> ben <br /> CHENMEST ANALYTICAL LABORATOMES.INC. <br />
