Soft Sensor for Diesel Fuel Distillation End Point Estimation

Virtual soft sensors are developed for properties estimation of diesel fuel as the crude oil distillation side product. Because of the growing standards for the fu¸el quality and needs to produce various gradations of diesel fuel, frequently laboratory testing and quality controls of the products are necessary. On the basis of available continuous temperature measuring of suitable process streams, soft sensors for estimating end boiling point (D95) of diesel fuel have been developed. Linear and nonlinear soft sensor models have been built using linear regression and artificial neural networks. Statistical data analysis has been carried out and the results were critically judged.
