Real Time Hydrocarbon Measurement

Gain Real Time oil and gas composition measurement and hydrocarbon process measurement and optimization, using Intertek's PT5™ NIR technology.

Intertek provides real-time upstream oil and gas process, composition measurement and optimization expertise, using advanced on-line analyzers (NIR, MIR, IR, NMR) and advanced non-linear chemometrics software package, PT5™.

PT5 measurement technology is used across the entire crude oil supply chain, including crude oil production, pipelines, refining and biofuel blending activities.  The combined topographical modelling and near infrared analysis combination supports quality control and control systems, and enhances production yields and more, helping customers run their business more efficiently and profitably.

PT5 software is combined with on-line near infrared analysis (PT5-NIR) to provide rapid product analysis, exploiting real time property measurement for improved control and optimisation of the hydrocarbon supply chain. When Intertek's PT5™ software is combined with on-line NIR Analysis, accurate and real-time data is available for online composition measurement and quality assurance on platforms and pipelines, fiscal allocation and hydrocarbon accounting for shared pipeline system, well-stream allocations, multiphase meter validation, hydrocarbon reconciliation and more. The technology can be used across the whole spectrum, including MIR (Mid Infra Red), Infra Red, NMR, etc.

Advantages of PT5-NIR measurement for hydrocarbon processing: 

• Obtaining a full set of properties in one model
• Online Hydrocarbon Properties Measurement 
• Unique performance guarantees on PT5 model
• Multi-stream and multi-properties measured using remote analysers
• Non-linear properties predicted with ASTM accuracies
• Database desnification with process know how
• Outlier prediction with confidence level
• Unique features include aggregate planes, spectral boxes, etc.
• Self learning: Add new samples to the database without remodeling
• Easy to maintain, at low cost
• Extended data sets available
