Additional Gasoline Parameters Measured via Raman

Additional Gasoline Parameters Measured with Process Instruments Raman

In addition to Octane, Butane, and ethanol measurements, a PI-200 can accurately measure a number of additional parameters used in both gasoline blending, as well as component rundown lines.

Parameters

Benzene
Toluene
Total aromatics
Total olefins
API gravity
Distillation points
E200 and E300
TV/L1
Drivability Index

1TV/L = temperature for vapor/liquid ratio
2SEP = standard error of prediction
3“R” = reproducibility
4GC = gas chromatography
5FIA = fluorescent indicator adsorption
