Abstract
Systems and methods operate to infer a fuel composition in a combustion system. The fuel composition may be inferred by receiving measured operating parameters including one or more of fuel data defining fuel characteristics used in combustion within a heater of the combustion system, emissions data defining emission gasses exiting the heater, airflow data defining ambient air being supplied to the heater and airflow rate of the air within the heater. One or more relationships within the measured operating parameters may be identified that result in a list of potential fuel compositions. One of the potential fuel compositions from the list may be selected having sufficient likelihood of resulting in the measured operating parameters as an inferred fuel composition. The output the inferred fuel composition to a heater controller of the combustion system and used for automatic control thereof.
