摘要:
The present invention provides a method to determine the chemical concentration of one or more of a number of the constituent classes of a hydrocarbon feed to or product from a hydrocarbon treating process (such as a catalytic cracking process). These constituent classes, which are referred to as "lumps", include up to 14 different molecular types in up to 4 different boiling range fractions. A specific lump will include all individual molecular components which are expected to react in a similar way in the catalytic cracking unit.

A method of determining or predicting a value Px of a property of a feed X to a steam cracking process or yield of said process, which method comprises measuring the absorption Dix of said material at more than one wavelength in the region 600-2600 nm, comparing signals indicative of said absorptions or a mathematical function thereof with signals indicative of absorptions Dim or mathematical function thereof at the same wavelength for a number of standards S in a bank for which the said property or yield P is known, and choosing from the bank at least one standard Sm with property Pm said standard having the smallest average value of the absolute difference at each wavelength i between the signal for the material and the signal for the standard Sm to obtain Px, with averaging of said properties or yields Pm when more than one standard Sm is chosen.
摘要:
An NIR sampling system designed to provide a stable gasoline sample stream to an NIR analyzer. Preferred design elements include a temperature-controlled stream moving through an inverted coalescer whereby gas bubbles are removed through an overhead stream. Elevated pressure is used to reduce degassing as well. Two or more prototype fuels can be injected to calibrate the instrument over a range and prove accuracy before and/or after analysis of a sample.

A method of determining or predicting a value P x of a property of a feed X to a steam cracking process or yield of said process, which method comprises measuring the absorption D ix of said material at more than one wavelength in the region 600-2600 nm, comparing the said absorptions or a derivative thereof with absorptions D im or derivatives thereof at the same wavelength for a number of standards S in a bank for which the said property or yield P is known, and choosing from the bank at least one standard S m with property P m said standard having the smallest average value of the absolute difference at each wavelength i between the absorption D i x (or derivative thereof) for the material and the absorption D i m (or derivative thereof) for the standard S m to obtain P x , with averaging of said properties or yields P m when more than one standard S m is chosen.
摘要:
A method for data processing and optimisation of a neural network for application in the determination of physical property data of hydrocarbon products from measured (N.)I.R. spectral absorbances, characterized by the steps of: a) measuring the (N.)I.R. spectra of a large set of hydrocarbon product samples from a wide range of sources; b) selecting an overtone (harmonic) region of the (near-)infrared spectra, thus obtained; c) selecting a number of discrete wavelengths in each (N.)I.R. spectrum, converting a number of the said wavelengths to absorption data and using said absorption data as an input to a neural network; d) training the neural network on the entire data set by repeated presentation of inputs and known outputs i.e. the near-infrared data for the hydrocarbon product and its relevant physical property data, to learn the relationship between the two, and monitoring the performance of its predicitions against the actual physical property data as measured by standard methods for the training data, thus correlating the absorbance values with said relevant physical property; e) generating a set of values of the interconnection weights and biases of the network as adjusted after the learning period of step d); and f) applying these adjusted values, utilizing the network algorithm to (near-)infrared spectra, taken under the same conditions, for hydrocarbon products of unknown physical property data.
摘要:
The proposal is for a sensor for measuring the mixing ratio of fluids, especially fuel mixtures. The sensor has a measuring cell with a hollow space having an in and outflow. The fluid is led trhough the hollow space, whereby regions of the wall of the hollow space are electrically conductive and with at least one further electrically conductive surface form a capacitor which is a component of an evaluation circuit. The measuring cell consists of at least two ceramic bearers which are combined into a layer arrengement via at least one connecting layer. The hollow space is produced by the local lack of at least one connecting layer. In the region of the hollow space there is at least one thick-film electrode on the ceramic bearers limiting the hollow space.
摘要:
Certain selected wavelengths in the near infrared spectra permit analysis of weight percent, volume percent, or even mole percent of each component, e.g. PIANO (paraffin, isoparaffin, aromatic, naphtenes, and olefins), octane (preferably research, motor or pump), and percent of various hydrocarbons, e.g. alpha olefins. Analysis can be nearly continuous anlysis on-line or at-line, as well as batch analysis, e.g. in a quality control laboratory. Preferably the NIR data is converted to a second derivative of the spectra and multiple linear regression performed to model the individual PIANO concentrations, and to predict physical properties of fuel blending components, e.g. research octane of reformate, etc.
