Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Analysis of Crudes and Transportation Fuels

摘要: There is an ongoing need for improvement in the optimization of petroleum refining processes. To this end, technological development analytical instrumentation and data treatment have been explored using process chemistry (PAC) tools, which allow real-time on-line or in-line analysis faster with lower cost than standard reference methods. The use near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined chemometric methods ideal fit PAC tasks. This combination has provided good results crude oil derivatives such as gasoline diesel oil, many quality parameters can be adequately determined analyzers, providing information control by means (RTO) systems. final well their mixtures biofuels, ethanol biodiesel, respectively, also performed laboratory NIR methods.
