The invention may be used to evaluate suitability of hydrocarbon materials to various types of processing methodologies, or to determine processing parameters, either prior to processing or during processing. Prediction of proximity to formation of inhomogenous products may result in optimizing process parameters, or increasing output of desirable products, or decreasing energy use, or decreasing amounts of emissions of harmful compounds per unit of suh hydrocarbon materials compared to conventional processing technology. Homogenous products produced with optimized conditions resulted from the application of the invention, may also have a higher level of purity. |
