METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING THE COKE GENERATION TENDENCY OF HYDROCARBONS

摘要

Near IR spectroscopy may be used for determining the coke generation tendency of a hydrocarbon. The coke generation tendency of hydrocarbons may be used to control refining conditions. An apparatus for determining the coke generation tendency of hydrocarbons comprising a near infrared spectrophotometer and other components may be used to make the determinations continuously.
