Gasoline Blending Plus

 

 

 

 Topics covered are as follows:

 

Goals of the Gasoline Blender:
          On Time, On Spec

False Blending Values:
          They don't work when composition changes

Maximizing Your Octane:
          Use your positive interactions

Interaction Blending:
          Interactions can be predicted from component types and octane level

Two Other Approaches:
          Critique of "RT-70" and "Transformation Method"

BLENOC  For Octane:
          Interactions from component type & octane level

Octane Demonstration Program:
          Download it - see how it works

Applying Interaction Equations:
          Use blending values or interaction coefficients

Doing Your Own Blending Study:
          Consider the long term cost

BLENDIS for ASTM Distillation:
          Includes pure hydrocarbons and oxygenates

BLENRVP for Reid Vapor Pressure:
          Takes hydrocarbon composition into account

Data Input and Component Types:
          We cover the Waterfront

Prices of BLENOC, BLENDIS and BLENRVP:
          No "Sticker Shock " here

Evaluating BLENOC, BLENDIS & BLENRVP:
          A free service

Typical Component Data:
          Useful for evaluating components you don't have

Handling Mixtures:
          Optimize with combined tankage - evaluate alternative combinations

Comparing Two "Optimums":
          If you really want to

Predicting End Point:
          Interaction can't do everything

ASTM Distillation Loss:
          Pentane prevents it

Blends of Pure Hydrocarbons:
          Huge octane interactions

Octanes Above 100:
          How to measure without TEL

Interaction for Diesel Fuel:
          Predict blend distillation

Testing Diesel in Octane Engines:
          Low octane means high cetane

Potpourri:
          There must be a pony in here somewhere
