Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of monitoring a reformer unit is disclosed. The method includes analyzing at least one of the feedstock and the product stream. The analyzing includes performing a detailed hydrocarbon analysis of at least one of the feedstock and the product stream. The method further includes obtaining a one-dimensional output from the detailed hydrocarbon analysis and adjusting the one-dimensional output to produce a multi-dimensional equivalent output. Adjusting the one-dimensional output includes applying an appropriate correlation matrix to the one-dimensional output to produce the multi-dimensional equivalent output. The appropriate correlation matrix is selected based upon the characteristics of the feedstock and the particular refinery unit.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of monitoring a refinery unit, wherein the refinery unit having a feedstock supplied thereto and at least one product stream withdrawn therefrom, the method comprising: analyzing at least one of the feedstock and the product stream, wherein the analyzing includes performing a detailed hydrocarbon analysis of at least one of the feedstock and the product stream; wherein performing the detailed hydrocarbon analysis includes utilizing a one-dimen…
