To remain competitive, today’s refiners must employ all optimization and product control techniques available. The use of online physical property analyzers is one of the key features to reach those objectives because they measure important quality properties in the process directly. The no flow point (correlating to pour point) is the temperature where a product (as it is cooled) stops flowing.
