Classification and characterisation of crude oils based on distillation properties

Classification of diesel pool refinery streams through near infrared spectroscopy and support vector machines using C-SVC and ν-SVC

“…3640; 3733; 3960; 3980; 4155 and 4190 cm À1 ) [40]. The classification of diesel pool streams can be performed because each one is associated with a higher or lower content of saturated hydrocarbon compounds with normal, branched, cyclic and mono and poly aromatic chains according to distillation temperature range of corresponding petroleum fraction [41].…”

Hydrous pyrolysis of Scenedesmus algae and algaenan-like residue

“…5) the naphtha, kerosene and gas oil, light and mid-heavy vacuum gas oil and vacuum residue respectively (Behrenbruch and Dedigama, 2007). The algaenan oil compares favorably with that of paraffinic-naphthenic crude oil having medium density from Alaska North Slope.…”

Simulation and characterization in the refining industry: A review

“…As such, these curves give a "footprint" of the composition of crude oils. Behrenbruch and Dedigama (2007) proposed a new method of characterizing crude oils based on the shape of TBP distillation curves using a two parameter form of the gamma distribution from statistics. The proposed method was found to describe experimental data very well with just two parameters, and as such offers a very practical approach in terms of classifying crude oils (Behrenbruch and Dedigama, 2007).…”
