Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system, method, and computer-readable medium for blending a fuel for use in a gas turbine are disclosed. A measurement of a heating value of a process gas and a measurement of a molecular weight of the process gas is obtained. An estimate of a composition of the process gas is obtained using the obtained measurement of the heating value and the obtained measurement of the molecular weight. A blending ratio of the process gas and a natural gas is selected based on the estimate of the composition of the process gas. The process gas and the natural gas are then blended according to the selected blending ratio to obtain a fuel mixture for use in the gas turbine.
