Crude OilBlending

Rising crude prices andavailability of lower cost,heavy, high sulphur, viscosityand TAN crudes makes in-line blending one of themost economic methods tooptimise profitability.Blending lower value oilwith higher specificationcrudes to optimise bothquality and cost can delivermulti-million dollar returns.

Jiskoot specialises inturnkey, high accuracy in-line blending solutions forheavy, viscous, waxy, highsulphur and other crudeoils. Systems are designedto deliver optimal returnon investment and have asignificantly lower capitalcost than traditional tankblending infrastructure.

In-line blenders deliver greateroperational and crudepurchasing flexibility and enablecontinuous profit optimisation.Blenders are designed specificallyfor your application and suppliedas a turnkey package, fully skidmounted with an integratedcontrol system and performanceguarantee.

In-line blending has moved fromsimple ratio control to 'qualitytrim' systems that utilise on-lineanalysers to continuouslyoptimise the cost and quality ofblended crude.This is achievedusing a combination of measuredand/or dynamically calculatedflow-weighted qualityparameters (based on thefeedstock specification). Qualitytrim blenders utilise theseparameters to automaticallyoptimise blends to correct forany variations in feedstockquality or error in blendingmodels. Blended crude can beoptimised for or qualityparameters such as sulphur,density,TAN for refinery, pipeline or terminaloperations or for applications

such as pipeline pumping costreduction (by trimming foroptimal pumping viscosity).

Blended crude homogeneity,stability and consistency are keyrequirements for optimalblending operations.A highenergy, high shear JetMix system is used to guaranteecrude homogeneity andoptimise the representivity andrepeatability of any on-lineanalysers used by the blender.

Blended and feedstock streamscan be continuously measuredand adjusted to optimize qualityand minimise 'give-away' in realtime using unique controlalgorithms.

Jiskoot blenders are guaranteedto deliver a consistent crudedynamically optimized even inthe event of changes infeedstock quality, flow rate, lossof power or the unlikely failureof a system component.

Blenders all have an automatedfailsafe feature to ensureoperation in failure conditions

Mixing and Analyser system

Crude oil blenders

and are designed with minimalpressure drop to enable optimal throughput at all recipes.

The Jiskoot blender controlsystem uses proven standardreal-time software. Blenders canbe operated completely stand-alone, for remote locations, orfully integrated as part of a plantDCS system or OMS system asrequired. All blending data canbe fully trended and reported.The control system features fullautomated and manual recipemanagement and full security.

The control system is designedfor simplicity and once initiatedthe blending process is fullyautomatic, only informing anoperator if an alarm conditionoccurs.

The performance of a crude oilblending system is so much more that the sum of its parts. Itis determined by the successful

selection and integration of all ofthe flow measurement, flowcontrol, mixing, analysis and system control components.

Jiskoot offers a range of servicesto suit your budget, from reviewof existing equipment andsystem design through to thesupply of an upgrade control orcomplete blending systems.
