Method For Determining Carbon Content Of A Hydrocarbon-Containing Mixture
US Patent:
2010022, Sep 9, 2010
Filed:
May 21, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/784852
Inventors:
Xiang-Dong Peng - Orefield PA, US
Blaine Edward Herb - New Tripoli PA, US

Assignee:
AIR PRODUCTS AND CHEMICALS, INC. - Allentown PA
International Classification:
C09K 3/00, G01N 31/00
US Classification:
252372, 702 24
Abstract:
A method for determining a carbon content value of a hydrocarbon-containing mixture. At least one composition-dependent bulk property of the hydrocarbon-containing mixture is measured and optionally at least one non-hydrocarbon component concentration is measured with the resulting measurements used in a carbon content correlation for calculating the carbon content of the hydrocarbon-containing mixture. The carbon content may be used in a hydrogen and/or synthesis gas production process for calculating a target flow rate of steam to be combined with the hydrocarbon-containing mixture to form a mixed feed having a target steam-to-carbon ratio.
