To meet the Clean Air Act (CAA), US refiners must control blending concentrations for several regulated-gasoline components and maintain minimum octane number ratings. A gasoline blending system's criteria focus on reliability, accuracy and cost. In the process of specifying a blending system, one first identify the pros and cons of knock engines and near-infrared (NIR) analyzers. A better understanding of operating principles can help one find the most cost-effective system for the plant and crude slate. The paper describes a continuous, on-line monitor; on-line gasoline analysis; economics, restrictions, designing for measurement, a new NIR form, and an example AOTF-based NIR analyzer.
