Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus for analyzing a bitumen-containing process stream and controlling a process. The method including directing a beam of infrared light at the bitumen-containing process stream, capturing light corresponding to the infrared light after interaction with the bitumen-containing process stream, and analyzing the captured light to obtain a spectrum. A composition estimate can be generated based on the spectrum and a calibrated model. A controller is operative to adjust a stepoint of the process in resposne to the composition estimate. Une méthode et un appareil pour analyser un flux de traitement contenant du bitume et contrôler un procédé. La méthode comprend lorientation dun faisceau de lumière infrarouge vers le flux de traitement contenant du bitume, la capture de la lumière correspondant à la lumière infrarouge après linteraction avec le flux de traitement et lanalyse de la lumière capturée pour obtenir un spectre. Un estimé de composition peut être généré en fonction du spectre et dun modèle étalonné. Un contrôleur est fonctionnel pour ajuster une valeur seuil du procédé en fonction de lestimé de composition.
