Inline blending
KS 98 application
Batching control for mixing liquid, gaseous, and solid ingredients
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.
