Remote Near-Infrared Fuel Monitoring System

Abstract

The objectives of this study were (1) to demonstrate the feasibility of replacing standard field methods for fuel analysis with a rapid analytical technique based on near-infrared spectroscopy, (2) to design a system that could provide real-time monitoring of fuel being distributed from a bulk fuel farm, and (3) to provide the United States Marine Corps (USMC) with a system for tracking fuel inventory
