Multi-Stream Blender

Advanced solutions for Bio-fuel blending applications

The Multi-Stream Blender utilizes the latest advancements in

microprocessor technology, to bring unparalleled accuracy

to blending system solutions with features such as multiple

target blend percentages, user definable alarm outputs, self

calibrating functionality, and clean arm flushing.

The Multi-Stream Blender can be configured in several arrangements, allowing for up to

four streams per assembly. Utilizing the Honeywell Enraf designed hydraulic actuated

V-port flow control valves the Multi-Stream Blender is capable of achieving highly

accurate linear control across the complete blend range.

The Perfect Blend

With energy costs spiraling upwards, and elevation of

environmental issues on the global agenda, the majority

of oil companies are now seeking to capitalize on the

expansion of blended bio-fuels at the load rack. Honeywell

Enraf developed today’s standard for load rack blending,

starting in the 1980’s for ‘Mid Grade’ fuels. During

the 1990’s Honeywell Enraf extended its expertise to

Ethanol blending at the load rack and today has the most

advanced solutions to blend custom grades of Ethanol and

Bio-Diesel blended fuels.

The design of Honeywell Enraf’s blending skids takes into

consideration the various issues for adding an Ethanol or

Bio-Diesel blending capability to the load rack:

• The need for a small foot print blender.

• The requirements for accurate measurement and

tight ratio control of Ethanol and Bio-Diesel.

• Temperature compensated total for blend components.

• Fast and simple meter proving.

• Easy interface to existing load rack controls.

• The flexibility of multiple blend ratios.

Seamless Integration

The design philosophy behind all Honeywell Enraf additive

injection and blending systems is to ensure that every

application can be catered to. Regardless of whether the

loading facility has single or multiple arms, the requirement

for seamless integration with load rack computers,

Terminal Automation Systems and a multitude of 3rd party

equipment is paramount.

This seamless integration capability is further enhanced

by Honeywell Enraf’s provision of all peripheral equipment

like additive offloading pump skids, additive storage tanks,

additive boost pump pressure skids, containerized additive

units and portable injection equipment.

Features

Arrangements

Honeywell Enraf offers multiple configuration and flow rate

designs for the Multi-Stream Blender. Some examples are

the customized 6-stream horizontal Bio-Diesel blend skids

or 2-4 stream vertical Ethanol blend skids. For alternative

(e.g. slave configuration without the smart Micro-blend

controller, etc) or customized arrangements please contact

your local sales office.

Valve Control – Hydraulic Power-Pak

The Multi-Stream Blender is provided with a Hydraulic

Power-Pak (HPP) for valve control. The HPP stabilizes valve

control pressure, solving issues with high viscosity products

(over 50cst) and reducing the pressure differential required

across the blender (15 psi). The HPP is a completely self

contained unit including hydraulic tank, pump/motor and

control tubing and is designed for use in Class 1, Div 1

hazardous areas.

Temperature Compensation

Temperature compensation upgrade option includes pre-

installed temperature transmitters and compensation

software features. Temperature compensation is available

via API tables, specific gravities, or co-efficient of expansion

techniques.

Blend Product Supply

The Multi-Stream Blender requires a pressurized product

supply. Typically 15 - 20 psi differential pressure is required

across blend product supply & main product flow pressure.

Hand-Held IR Controller

The hand-held Infra-red remote controller is a tool used to

interface with the Multi-Stream Blender, allowing tasks such

as the adjustment of parameters, resetting of alarms and

calibration of the blender. The same hand-held is capable of

communicating with all Honeywell Enraf additive and blend

controllers therefore it is not necessary to have a controller for

each blend unit.

Calibration Kit

To aid calibration of the Multi-Stream Blender, proving

connections are pre-installed in the blend unit, with a single

connection for ‘volumetric’ proving or dual connections for

‘master meter’ proving.

Comms Mini-Pak Emulation

The Multi-Stream Blender contains a communications

emulator that allows the blender to be operated as if it were

a Mini-Pak injection system. A typical application would be

direct communications to an Accuload or Honeywell Enraf

1010 load computer: The Accuload/1010 could be configured

to communicate with a Mini-Pak injector and connected

to the blend controller on RS485. When an additive recipe

is selected, this will be translated in the blend controller

as a blend percentage; the blend controller will operate

normally and upon completion upload the blend totals to the

appropriate load computer registers.

Filtration

The Multi-Stream Blender is supplied as standard with inline

strainer containing 80 mesh basket.

Automatic Isolation

Each of the streams has isolation valve for easy maintenance.
