1.3 Data Sheets

The technical data supplied by the Owner will be given on the Data Sheets which is included with at the end of
this specification. The Vendor/Contractor shall complete the Data Sheets with the remaining information.

2.0 DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS

2.1 Technical

In-Line Blending

A process whereby component streams (liquids, gases, powders or aggregates) are measured and mixed in a
precise ratio to each other. All components flow together simultaneously to a common header, where they
combine to form the finished product.

Pacing Control

In the event that a control loop can not produce enough output to maintain its ratio, the blend master
(controller) detects the high loop output, and lowers the master demand rate to maintain the proper ratios. The
master demand rate then ramps back to its original value as the output of the limiting component returns within
range

Pour Point

The pour point is the temperature below which a hydrocarbon liquid sample will not flow.

RVP

Reid Vapour Pressure : The measure of volatility of a petroleum product or blend stream is vapour pressure.
The Reid Vapour Pressure or RVP is defined as the Vapour Pressure at 100°F (37.8°C).

3.5 Control Room Equipment

3.5.1 System Configuration

(a) Figures 1 to 9 attached to this specification show various blending systems generally in the increasing
order of complexity.

(b) A very simple system utilising pneumatic instrumentation is shown in Figure 1.

 GENERAL ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION GES J.27
IN-LINE BLENDING SYSTEMS Page 11 of 34
Rev 0 1999
This scheme is included as a typical example of a ratio control utilising pneumatic instrumentation.
Pneumatic instrumentation shall not be used for blending installations without Owner's prior
approval.

Figures 2, 3, 4 and 7 show typical analogue based blending schemes using conventional electronic
analogue instrumentation.

(c) Figure 5 shows a typical digital totalising blending scheme using conventional electronic bi-
directional digital controllers and totalisers.

(d) Figure 6 shows a typical computer based blending system for blending multiple components.
Blender controllers and totalisers are implemented in software. Such systems are normally provided
with comprehensive recipe handling and reporting facilities including facilities for batch blending.
All facilities are normally accessible via the operators keyboard.

Systems incorporate software to provide monitoring, control, data storage, alarm functions and input-
output circuitry to accept signals from flow meters and transmitters and to drive control devices, such
as control valves, line-up valves and pumps.

(e) In scheme shown in Figure 2 the flow of component "B" depends on the flow of component "A".
The flow of component "B" is always a fraction of the flow of component "A". In such schemes one
of the streams is the primary stream and all other streams (secondary) are blended with respect to the
primary stream.

The flow through each stream is controlled using a flow controller. The blend master flow controller
sets the set point of the primary flow controller. The secondary controller setpoint is derived from the
primary measurement after the ratio is set in a ratio setting unit.

(f) In Figure 3 the flow of each component does not depend on the flow of the other. The blend master
flow controller sets the setpoints of all stream flow controllers via ratio setting units.

(g) In Figures 2 and 3 the batch size is set on a preset totaliser driven from the master flow measurement.
The totaliser initiates shutdown of the streams when the required total volume is reached.

(h) This section deals with the systems typically shown in Figures 5,6, and 7.

(i) Figures 8, 9 and 10 are typical for larger and more complex systems covered in section 3.6 of this
specification.

following:

Electronic controllers.

(b) DCS controllers shall meet the requirements of section 3.6.4.

 GENERAL ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION GES J.27
IN-LINE BLENDING SYSTEMS Page 12 of 34
Rev 0 1999
(c) Each blending scheme shall function as an independent measurement and control system. The
computation of all quantities required shall therefore be performed by controllers dedicated to each
scheme. The operator shall feed in various ratios and other parameters as required at the beginning of
the run. Except for manual emergency shutdown initiation no other control action by the operator
shall be required during the run.

(d) For microprocessor based systems the program which implements the computation algorithm shall be
entirely resident in EPROM, as shall contractual or other fixed conversion factors used in calculation
routines. The programme shall be immune to power failure and shall start automatically upon power
up.

(e) For microprocessor and DCS based systems all calibration constants, coefficients and dimensional
data which are required for computation shall be stored in RAM. As back up a re-chargeable battery
shall be provided, as an integral part of the controller, to protect the RAM contents for at least one
month should the controller power supply fail or disconnected for a period of up to one year. A
watchdog timing device shall be incorporated to detect failure of the computation routine and an
alarm shall be provided to the operator.

3.5.3 Inputs (Typical)

Temperature measurement from 4 wire RTDs;

4-20mA inputs from pressure transmitters;
Pulse inputs from flow transmitters (with facility for dual pulse comparison);

IN-LINE BLENDING SYSTEMS Page 13 of 34
Rev 0 1999

(e) RESET Pushbutton for resetting all totalises and integrators to zero. This pushbutton will be pressed
anytime a new batch is to be processed. The reset button shall be interlocked so that the reset
function shall be active only if the sequence is stopped.

(f) ACKNOWLEDGE Pushbutton : System request to the operator to acknowledge a prompt.

(g) LEAD/UNLEAD P/B and display: Used by the operator in case of dosing the product with TEL.

and optimising methods as in the off-line optimisation and planning software system in order to be
consistent in computational and presentation of results.

(d) The Optimiser shall integrate seamlessly with companion software modules for the tank inventories
and tank quality management systems.

3.6.6 Tank Quality Control

An on-line recipe optimiser and tank quality control programs shall be provided. The ratio of the frequency of
the tank quality control and tank recipe optimiser shall typically be not less than 10. The operator shall be kept
informed of current product tank quality (predicted) and on-line recipe by one or more displays.
