Summary

Raman spectroscopy has emerged as a valuable process analytical technology in the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI), offering a rapid non-destructive and highly sensitive method for analyzing complex chemical compositions. This technique is widely utilized for real-time monitoring and quality control in various stages of hydrocarbon processing, including refining, petrochemical production, and gas processing.  

Raman spectroscopy enables the rapid compositional analysis of hydrocarbon properties under sometimes extreme temperature and pressure conditions. Consequently, the design of the process spectrometer, sampling optics and process interface is critical.   

Raman's ability to analyze gases, liquids, and solids in-situ and with no sample preparation or sample conditioning system has made it particularly useful for remote sensing and continuous process monitoring.   

In this webinar, we will present case studies of current applications of Raman spectroscopy in natural gas, hydrogen, refined fuels, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and cracking, highlighting its role in process optimization, quality control, and environmental monitoring.

As industry increasingly shifts towards more sustainable and efficient operations, Raman spectroscopy is poised to play a critical role in advancing the future of hydrocarbon processing technologies.
