CEN/TC 19 N 2053, EN 15984 Petroleum industry and products - Determination of composition of refinery heating gas and calculation of carbon content and calorific value - Gas chromatography method

Scope

This document defines a gas chromatographic analysis for the determination of the composition of fuel gases, as used in refinery heating gas. These results are used to calculate the carbon content and the lower calorific value.

With this gas chromatographic analysis, an overall of 23 refinery heating gas components are determined in concentrations as typically found in refineries (see Table 1 for further details).

Informative precision statements for some single hydrocarbons is given in an Annex in order to provide additional information.

Purpose

Determination of composition of refinery heating gas and calculation of carbon content and calorific value by GC contains a precision statement for the carbon content and calorific value. In order to calculate these parameters, an analysis of the composition of the refinery gas is performed. Users of this method indicated that an indication of the repeatability and reproducibility for the individual components is of value for them. Based on the Proficiency Testing Program data of DIN FAM, the repeatability and reproducibility were calculated. Since this calculation is not according all requirements of ISO 4259, WG9 decided to publish this information in an informative annex of EB 15984 and can be used as a guideline.
