Boiling range distribution profiles

The TBP-GLC s on the liquids are for calculation of yields of various boiling range liquid products. The C/H/S analyses are used for elemental material balance, calculation of heats of reactions and calculation of hydrogen distribution, i.e., hydrogen content of liquid product. From the material balance and the product analyses, a final yield report is made as shown in Table II. With each yield report, the operating conditions are reported which include tube identification, hydrocarbon and water feed rates and pressure and bulk gas temperature profiles. 

If total sulfur curve is simulated by using any model that considers total lumping or averaging any profile distribution without proper validation with experimental data, prediction of sulfur in products can be restricted to short range of reaction conditions, and reliable results cannot be expected. If a sulfur distribution is assumed by taking from the literature any correlation between sulfur content and boiling point, the use of experimental sulfur curve data to validate/derivate the model parameters is mandatory (Chou and Ho, 1988).
