For observing differences in crudes...; for analyzing distillation fractions..;; for the monitoring of alkylation prod-, ucts...and for many other analyses of I petroleum derivatives, Ν MR Spectro-'; scopy provides invaluable chemical insights. As an analytical tool, NMR:!; can, for example, make rapid deter-J minations of the presence or relative; number of aliphatics, olefinics and . aromatics', and can be used to study ' features such as degree of branching ...facts long recognized by petroleum • chemists in basic research. Now with the practical advances of the new; Varian A-60 Spectrometer, NMR is; broadly applicable at numerous points ' throughout petroleum refineries and petrochemical operations.
