Abstract

It is essential to control the quality of diesel products so that they comply with relevant fuel specifications, however, the quality assessments rely upon conventional wet chemical analyses that are costly and time consuming. Rapid, simultaneous quality measurement enabling immediate online optimisation for process control and blending offers tremendous cost savings by minimising product quality give-away, shipment demurrage, tank inventory, and laboratory analysis. In this study, the use of near infrared spectroscopy and chemometrics demonstrates a straightforward workflow for simultaneous determination of the petroleum diesel's boiling point at 95% recovery (T95), flash point (FP), cloud point (CP), and cetane index (CI) calibration development. It involved appropriate spectral region selection, calibration/validation set partition, data pre-processing, regression modelling and validation. Based on the calibration and validation results, the supervised learning models that are obtained from a combination region of 4000-4800 cm(-1) on a randomly selected calibration set managed to deliver promising predictive performance in terms of coefficient of determination for prediction (r(P)(2)/T95 >= 0.94, r(P)(2)/FP >= 0.89, r(P)(2)/CP >= 0.89, r(P)(2)/CI >= 0.993), root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP (T95) <= 5.2 degrees C, RMSEP (FP) <= 2.0 degrees C, RMSEP (CP) <= 2.4 degrees C, RMSEP (CI) <= 0.3), and ratio of performance deviation (RPD (T95) >= 3.7, RPD (FP) >= 3.0, RPD (CP) >= 2.9, RPD (CI) >= 11). Regardless of principal component regression or partial least square regression on either the multiplicative scattering corrected spectra or Savitzky Golay second derivative spectra, the developed models met respective ASTM reproducibility requirements, and were considered adequate for immediate quality assessment of diesel.
