Process analytical FT-NIR applications in refineries cover a wide range of different processes, including distillation units, conversion units, and final product blend optimization. However, the availability of high production margins for final products has re-emphasized the role of process FT-NIR in high-value final product optimization applications, gasoline and diesel product blending, crude oil distillation, and, in petrochemical plants, naphtha steam cracking.
