    The document discusses blending crude oil and fuel oils. It describes traditional in-tank blending and newer in-line blending methods. In-line blending allows continuous proportioning and mixing of components in real time for improved quality control and reduced costs compared to batch in-tank blending.

    Blending
    Why do companies Blend
    • To upgrade or downgrade
    products to meet specifications
    • To optimise commercial value
    • To facilitate movement of oil

    Where do companies Blend


    • Terminals
    • Pipelines
    • Refineries

    Measurement Systems
    Why Blend Crude/Fuel Oils?
    • To upgrade or downgrade a product
    • To allow crude to meet benchmarks or transport specifications
    • To allow access to market for poor quality un-transportable crude
    • To meet sulphur specifications

    Blending Methods:

    In Tank
    Storage costs (inventory and infrastructure), delay, inflexible batch sizing

    In Line
    No storage, flexible output in quality and volumes

    Measurement Systems
    The Blend Challenge
    • To blend a lower value, lower grade crude oil with a higher value, higher grade
    crude oil to a target parameter (for example sulfur content).

    • To dynamically blend on-line (no room for error)

    • To provide a consistent specific blended product at the lowest cost

    • To reduce the traditional give away (over-blend insurance)

    In-line Blending
    • In-line Blending is the controlled continuous proportioning of a number of
    component streams to produce a final blended product of closely defined
    quality
    • Components measured, mixed,
    and controlled in real time
