Characterization of crude oil by ultraviolet visible spectroscopy

摘要

A system and a method for determining one or more distillation temperatures for one or more given distillation weight percentages of a crude oil sample are provided, which can be used to produce a simulated distillation curve. Simulated distillation temperatures of crude oil samples are assigned as a function of density and data derived from UV/Visible spectroscopy measurement of the crude oil samples.
