For a refinery, the reliability and efficiency of fuel planning operations determine its overall financial performance. These fuels include diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, fuel oil, and kerosene, require the right blend of fuel additives and components such as antioxidants, octane enhances, and more to meet their requirement for sale. Exceeding the specification is known as a product giving away; it is a lost opportunity for achieving more significant revenue, and not meeting the specifications creates additional rework cost.
To overcome
these challenges blending consulting Services came into the scene as they know
how to optimize your blending process to reduce the product rework and giveaway
cost. There are many situations where refiner needs to be modernizing their
refinery. Old types of fuel refineries have plants that required automation and
instrumentation modernization for the more flexible operation to meet customer
demand. Aside from this, the refinery needs to be cost-effective to comply with
fuel standards and reducing excessive blending giveaway.
In this
scenario, the fuel blending consultancy company is an excellent help. They have
experts in their team perform a conceptual study on the refinery to determine
steps needed to modernize if you are lending operations. The refinery generally
has several operations challenges, including piping and pump capacity
constraints, low storage tank utilization, long blend cycles, missed production
plan, manually-operated inventory, excessive octane giveaway, tank farm
processes, manually operated inventory, and much more.
In general,
the refinery performs batch-based fuel blending instead of a more efficient inline
blender where components are added simultaneously, and mixing occur inline in
the header to the blended fuel storage tank. But if you move ahead with the advice of
blending, consultancy service refinery will be able to use as much of the
existing plan infrastructure and minimize the impact of existing operation by reducing
operational cost with the use of standard technique and proving the performance
guarantee required for the project. The professional of blending consultancy
firm design and execute any project consists of a plant, a local contractor,
and a staff consultant.
On implementing
the blending consultants' suggestions, the refinery project will qualify for
the increased annual saving due to the increased throughput of the blender and
reduced product giveaway and optimize the usage of blend components.
If being a
refinery owner, you are thinking about the possibility of using alternative
fuel, but you are not sure whether it will work for your plant, then you need
blending advice. Biofuel is a bit more expensive than corn or sugarcane-based
ethanol, but it has the considerable advantage that it can blend directly in a
barge or pipeline. It will reduce RIN losses and increase scalable volume.
