Optimize Gasoline Blending with Accurate Total Sulfur and Distillation Analysis

Tight blending specifications are required to make gasoline at the most reasonable cost. On-line analysis provides crucial information to prevent product giveaway and reprocessing. Susan Harris with PAC, and Randy Ridge with Marathon Petroleum, co-presented the “Comparative On-Line Atmospheric Distillation and Total Sulfur Analysis Methods in the Gasoline Blender” paper at this year’s ISA A&D 2013 symposium. This paper presents a technology discussion for total sulfur analysis and determining distillation boiling points in the gasoline blender, including:

  • How lab and process data correlations are interpreted and best practices, including a discussion of ASTM methods
  • How tight monitoring can help the process and improve profitability
  • What issues occur when transitioning to process control
  • How to optimize sampling and specific installations
