Handling Issues with ETHANOL Blending

When Ethanol is added to gasoline at 10% it

will increase the reid vapor pressure (rvp).
Generally 1 psi at 10% ethanol

Ethanol blend affect RVP

Handling Issues with ETHANOL Blending

Mixing Ethanol with Gasoline causes increase in blended volume

Varies with different feed stocks and blend percentages
Major Oil sees a 0.3% to 0.4% increase in volume with a 10% blend

Most of the Major Oil companies now blend upstream to take

advantage of the growth.

Ethanol/Gasoline Blends Increase Final Volume

Handling Issues with Biodiesel Blending

High viscosity at normal temperatures

Requires PD meters for measurement
Externally powered control valves preferred

Very High viscosity at low temperatures

Heat traced lines
Heated instrument rooms

B100 becomes near unpumpable below 15 degrees C.

NTEP approved custody transfer meter for BioFuel

blending and load rack applications.

Rugged design of the 2 stainless steel oval gear

meter and NTEP certified flow ranges cover your
requirement for today and the future.
EN0937USRefined products meter.pdf
NTEP Honeywell Enraf 150GPM 08-028A1.pdf
The oval gear design gives the meter exceptionally
low pressure drop.
The high frequency Hall Effect sensor delivers the
resolution needed for superior digital flow control.
The non-wetted sensor is an integral part of the flow
meter with a solid wall isolating it from the wetted part
of the measuring chamber.

Hydraulic Powered V-port Flow Control Valves

Uses Aircraft Hydraulic oil to power the valves

resulting fast/smooth acting and constant
valve travel speed
V-port construction gives wider range of CV
vs. valve travel resulting in a near linear flow
curves

On spec Blends every time

Honeywell Enraf Solution design controls the

blend ratio from the low flow start, during the
high flow and continues blend control until the
batch is over.
Even if the batch is ended early the blend ratio
is on spec

Advantages of Smart Blending over Slave Blending

Smart Batch Blending: Continuous
blending throughout the flow profile;
on-spec product at any instance.
Slave Batch Blending:
Only during high flow; off-spec
product during premature shut downs.
