<p>A method is shown for the analysis of hydrocarbon based fuels comprising the following steps: a) the use of a tunable diode laser (TDL) whereby several wavelengths of light can be emitted, b). transmission of said light through a transparent flow cell or flow chamber containing the fuel, c). measurement of the transmitted light with an optical detector positioned on the opposite site of the cell/chamber, d). detection of signals and storage on a computer memory, e). computer-based analysis of measurements, f). use of an algorithm and a chemical reference library for subsequent quantitative analysis of the hydrocarbon compounds.</p> |
