As vehicle emission standards become more stringent, there is an increasing need for continual monitoring of benzene content in gasoline. Since on-line analyzers are often unavailable, and laboratory analyses are infrequently obtained, soft sensors for the estimation of benzene content of light reformate are developed. Soft sensors are developed using linear and nonlinear identification methods. Experimental data are acquired from the refinery distributed control system (DCS) and include continuously measured variables and analyzer assays available on-line. In the present work, the development of a finite impulse response (FIR) model, an output error (OE) model, and a Hammerstein–Wiener (HW) model is presented. To overcome the problem of selecting the best model parameters by trial and error, genetic algorithms and pattern (direct) search were used. On the basis of developed soft sensors, it is possible to entirely replace on-line analyzers with soft sensors by embedding the model in a DCS on-site.
