Analysis method to achieve a detailed analysis of a reactor effluent

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method suitable for establishing an analysis of a reactor effluent which is gaseous in process conditions and presents a gas phase and a liquid phase after cooling, comprising: providing a reactor producing a gaseous effluent at a temperature of at least about 100° C. and a pressure ranging from 0.05 MPa to 10 MPa which is at least under one gaseous phase and one liquid phase after cooling, providing a sampling vessel having connecting means capable to be filled with a sample of the above gaseous effluent and keep said sample, putting said sampling vessel under vacuum, connecting said sampling vessel to the outlet of the reactor containing the effluent gas to fill said sampling vessel with a sample of the effluent gas, recovering the sampling vessel, cooling it to get a gas phase and a liquid phase, determining the gas mass and composition by analysis, sampling vessel pressure, sampling vessel volume and sampling vessel temperature measurement, determining the liquid mass by weighting of total sample and substraction of the gas mass or by use of an internal standard with or without the use of a compatible solvent, determining the liquid detailed composition by any means, determining the detailed composition of the sample, the reactor effluent, by combination of these data.
