What does the icon Ethanol Blend Optimiser do?
The icon Ethanol Blend Optimiser accurately blends specific volumes of ethanol into gas streams going into online analysers. The move to biofuels means that many gasoline specifications require ethanol addition at specific percentages, depending on location and marketing specifications.
Ethanol has an impact – called a ‘boost’ – on product specifications. This boost is sample specific, and the BOB (Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending) must cope with the worst-case boost scenario. The icon Ethanol Blend Optimiser allows for much higher precision in this blending process, allowing the analysis of the fuel with ethanol added rather than having to predict how the fuel will behave.
Methods
How does the icon Ethanol Blend Optimiser work?
The icon Ethanol Blend Optimiser uses piston cylinders to mix a combined BOB (Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending)/ethanol sample flow. This mixing system allows for a very high precision (+- 0.05%), minimising uncertainty and reducing the amount of ethanol needed.
