Claim 0:
1. A method for investigating at least one process stream comprising at least five different hydrocarbon-containing components, wherein the method comprises at least the steps of:
a) providing at least one process stream conduit which is in operative connection with at least one online IR spectrometer and in operative connection with at least one online gas chromatograph;
b) passing at least one process stream through the at least one process stream conduit, wherein during this passing of the process stream through the process stream conduit an analytical characterization of the process stream using an online IR spectrometer and an online gas chromatograph is performed;
c) evaluating the spectral data obtained in the analytical characterization of the process stream using an online IR spectrometer as a function of the time at which this spectroscopic analysis of the process stream was carried out:
d) evaluating the chromatography data obtained during the analytical characterization of the process stream using the online gas chromatograph as a function of a sampling time for samples taken from the process stream;
e) machine learning-based training of a model that models a mathematical relationship between spectral data and corresponding chromatography data in respect of an identical process stream by using the evaluation results obtained in steps c) and d) in respect of the process stream passed through the process stream conduit in step b).
