Validated Product Property Measurements – Online
The Bahrain Lube Base Oil Company (BLBOC), a joint venture between the Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco) and Neste Oyj Finland, erected an oil plant in Bahrain, which came on-stream in October 2011. The plant produces Group III Base Oils.
Online Near Infrared (NIR) process analyzers enable real-time quality control and essential in Group III Base Oil production, because multiple product qualities must be kept within specified limits during the process. Two NIR analyzers were installed to the BLBOC plant.
