Hi all,

I am looking for some references on gas blending control scheme. Basically, the process requirement require a mixing of sweet gas with sour gas. There will be two blending manifolds, as two sources of sweet gases will be available to dilute the CO2 and H2S content. The end product will need to meet the gas spec requirement of H2S < 300 ppm and CO2 < 6% mol without jeopardizing the production rate and maintaining pressure ratio.

Appreciate if you could guide me to right people/organization/books which would help me to come out with a desirable control scheme.

Regards
Azizi Ahmad

They have some papers and publications on this subject. Look under the Computer Conference papers. A couple for you to look at among others are:
