Optimal control of product quality in the oil and gas industry

Reference temperature viscosity measurement

A reference temperature viscosity measurement is required in refineries for pretoleum, oil, liquid hydrocarbons, heavy and light fuel blends. A viscosity measurement at reference temperature eliminates both variations in process temperature and changes in product behavior.

Constraints refineries require optimal viscosity monitoring

Today, refineries face several constraints:

• partial understanding due to lack of verification steps
• viscosity changes with product quality and process temperature
• difficulty in characterizing the behavior of reference products
• different origins of crude oils and refining methods
• quality of petroleum products and derivatives depends on viscosity characteristics.
