Burning Bunker Fuel Oil:
Using chromatographic testing of flue gases, can a measured reduction in contaminating emission products in kg/h be translated to a measured reduction in the fuel oil being burned, kg/h?
i.e.
Change in Unburned Hydrocarbons in kg/h = 'x'barrils fuel oil

I think that you take temperature and co and co2 ratios into account to measure combustion efficiency.
I know that there are meters that you simply stick a probe into the flue gas stream and read efficiency.
However better to try the mechanical forums for the correct answer.
