      Description
       
      In oil refineries, the final
      composition of a product is achieved by a special process known as "inline
      blending". The end product is obtained by mixing various oil
      qualities and additives continuously and in precisely defined quantities.
      Due to certain variables during this process, such as reaction times in
      the control loop, changed mechanical settings, contamination of the
      control valves, or similar disturbances, deviations from the intended
      result can occur. These deviations can be detected by integrating the
      actual flow values, thus enabling the set-values to be corrected by a
      corresponding factor during the blending process. As a result, the final
      product that reaches the storage tank will have the exact required
      composition. 
       
      The inline blending process is not limited to oil refineries, but is also
      used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, foodstuffs and animal
      feed industries, and in any other process where different ingredients are
      mixed according to a defined recipe.
