Smith Meter Blending Systems

BLENDING SYSTEMS FOR THE MARKETING


OF REFINED PETROLEUM PRODUCTS
The introduction of biofuels into the mainstream fuels market
business has generated the need for a significant investment
in the appropriate technology and processes to ensure that
the product reaching the end consumer is of the right quality
and can be produced repeatedly without the need for
additional quality controls.
FMC Technologies blending system modules are based on
the experience and quality of the Smith Meter brand. These
modules, created for the International Markets including the
European Market, have been designed to fulfill internal and
logistical requirements and to comply with all Weights &
Measures requirements.
Of all available blending methods, ratio blending has become
the industries main blending method because of the most
constant blend quality even at interrupted operations.

Ratio Blending

Outlet Blended Product

Ratio blending refers to the mixing of the main fuel stream


and the bio component stream in the correct ratio, where
the main fuel stream is considered a variable flow and the
bio component flow must be controlled in the correct ratio.
Typically the term ratio blending is used where the biostream
is mixed with the main fuel stream downstream of the main
fuel meter and managed with one electronic controller device
managing all flow control valves. With this blending method
the blending stream is considered as part of custody transfer
metering. The main advantage for ratio stream blending is
that all final product components are individually and
accurately measured, thus enabling correct inventory
reconciliation providing the most accurate final custody
transfer volume information. A typical application is
Ethanol blending.

Wild Stream Blending


If the blending component stream is separately controlled
from the main fuel stream, then it is often called wild
stream blending, where the main fuel flow stream is the
wild stream (uncontrolled stream) and the blend component
is controlled as a percentage of the main stream and blended
typically upstream (alternatively downstream) of the main
stream flowmeter.

Side Stream Blending


Side stream blending is an alternative term for ratio blending, but where the blend stream is mixed with the main fuel
upstream of the main fuel meter. The blend meter is managed
by the main stream electronic controller device. To ensure the
accuracy of the blend, this blending method has blend stream
accuracy requirements which are equivalent to the premium
level of the main stream custody transfer metering. The main
advantage for side stream blending is that typically the side
stream is legally not considered as custody transfer. A typical
application is biodiesel blending.
