  • Systems and methods for implicit chemical resolution of vacuum gas oils and fit quality determination
    Patent number: 11415568
    Abstract: Systems and methods for implicit chemical resolution of vacuum gas oils and fit quality determination are disclosed. The systems and methods include utilizing an FT-IR spectrum of an unknown VGO composition, and a database of FT-IR spectra of known VGO compositions, to determine a model of composition for the unknown VGO composition. Additionally, the fit quality for the model of composition is determined by performing a partial least squares analysis on specific spectral regions of interest in the FT-IR spectrum of the unknown VGO composition.
    Type: Grant

  • Systems and processes for performance property determination using optical spectral data
    Patent number: 11402323
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining performance properties of an unknown composition are disclosed. The performance properties can include a Research Octane Number (RON), a Motor Octane Number (MON), and/or a cetane number. The systems and methods include utilizing an optical spectrum of an unknown composition to determine a model of composition, where the model of composition includes a molecular identity and a relative abundance for components therein. The model of composition is then utilized to calculate one or more performance properties. Additionally, the fit quality for the model of composition is determined by performing a partial least squares analysis on specific spectral regions of interest in the optical spectra of the unknown composition.
