Abstract: The determination of hydrocarbon composition and physical properties is a critical step in allocation of assets, process control, transportation and facility optimization. However, the instrumentation to perform such analysis is often complex to install, maintain, and operate. Recent advances in Near Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy has enabled equipment which is ruggedized for field use, can operate at line conditions, and perform similar analysis as conventional equipment with better reliability and speed. An NIR analyzer has been developed to perform at-line measurements in applications ranging from upstream production, to midstream processing, to downstream refining. The analyzer has been used to measure crude properties in real time, optimize fractionation facilities and monitor composition and product quality in pipelines and for resource allocation. The operating characteristics of the analyzer are discussed and application results are presented.
