Crude Petroleum Samples
The sample database consisted of crude
petroleum samples (medium density) from a
Brazilian refinery (REVAP, Petrobras).
Laboratory analysis on these samples provided
the required physical properties (API gravity)
and fluorescence spectra measurements (TFS,
SFS and TRFS) were carried out on these
samples. Algorithms for the proper
representation of crude oil spectra were
implemented in MatLab programming
language.
