Multi-Stream Blender

Advanced solutions for bio-fuel blending applications.

The Multi-Stream Blender utilizes the latest advancements in
microprocessor technology, to bring unparalleled accuracy to
blending system solutions with features such as multiple target
blend percentages, user definable alarm outputs, self calibrating
functionality, and clean arm flushing. The Multi-Stream Blender
can be configured in several arrangements, allowing for up
to four streams per assembly. Utilizing the Honeywell Enraf
designed hydraulic actuated V-port flow control valves the Multi-Stream Blender is capable
of achieving highly accurate linear control across the complete blend range.
The Perfect Blend

With energy costs spiraling upwards, and elevation of

environmental issues on the global agenda, the majority of oil
companies are now seeking to capitalize on the expansion of
blended bio-fuels at the load rack. Honeywell Enraf developed
todays standard for load rack blending, starting in the 1980s for
mid-grade fuels. During the 1990s Honeywell Enraf extended its
expertise to Ethanol blending at the load rack and today has the
most advanced solutions to blend custom grades of Ethanol and
bio-diesel blended fuels.

The design of Honeywell Enrafs blending skids takes into

consideration the various issues for adding an Ethanol or Bio-
Diesel blending capability to the load rack:

The need for a small foot print blender.

The requirements for accurate measurement and
tight ratio control of Ethanol and Bio-Diesel.
Temperature compensated total for blend components.
Fast and simple meter proving.
Easy interface to existing load rack controls.
The flexibility of multiple blend ratios.

Seamless Integration

The design philosophy behind all Honeywell Enraf additive

injection and blending systems is to ensure that the needs of
every application can be met. Regardless of whether the loading Vertical blender
facility has single or multiple arms, the requirement for seamless
integration with load rack computers, terminal automation
systems and multitude of third-party equipment is paramount.

This seamless integration capability is further enhanced by

Honeywell Enrafs provision of all peripheral equipment like
additive offloading pump skids, additive storage tanks, additive
boost pump pressure skids, containerized additive units and
portable injection equipment.

Features
Arrangements
Honeywell Enraf offers multiple configuration and flow rate
designs for the Multi-Stream Blender. Some examples are the
customized 6-stream horizontal Bio-Diesel blend skids or 2-4
stream vertical Ethanol blend skids. For alternative (e.g. slave
configuration without the smart Micro-blend controller, etc) or
customized arrangements please contact your local sales office.
Valve Control Hydraulic Power-Pak
The Multi-Stream Blender is provided with a Hydraulic Power-
Pak (HPP) for valve control. The HPP stabilizes valve control
pressure, solving issues with high viscosity products (over
50cst) and reducing the pressure differential required across the
blender (15 psi). The HPP is a completely self contained unit
including hydraulic tank, pump/motor and control tubing and is
designed for use in Class 1, Div 1 hazardous areas.
Temperature Compensation (V.2 Smart Blend Controller)
Temperature compensation upgrade option includes pre-
installed temperature transmitters and compensation software
features. Temperature compensation is available via API tables,
specific gravities, or co-efficient of expansion techniques.
Blend Product Supply
The Multi-Stream Blender requires a pressurized product
supply. Typically 15 - 20 psi differential pressure is required
across blend product supply & main product flow pressure.
Handheld IR Controller
The handheld Infra-red remote controller is a tool used to
interface with the Multi-Stream Blender, allowing tasks such
as the adjustment of parameters, resetting of alarms and
calibration of the blender. The same handheld is capable of
communicating with all Honeywell Enraf additive and blend
controllers therefore it is not necessary to have a controller for
each blend unit.
Calibration Kit
To aid calibration of the Multi-Stream Blender, proving
connections are pre-installed in the blend unit, with a single
connection for volumetric proving or dual connections for
master meter proving.
Comms Mini-Pak Emulation
The Multi-Stream Blender contains a communications
emulator that allows the blender to be operated as if it were
a Mini-Pak injection system. A typical application would
be direct communications to an Accuload or Honeywell
Enraf 1010 load computer: The Accuload / 1010 could be
configured to communicate with a Mini-Pak injector and
connected to the blend controller on RS485. When an
additive recipe is selected, this will be translated in the blend
controller as a blend percentage; the blend controller will
operate normally and upon completion upload the blend totals
to the appropriate load computer registers.
Filtration
The Multi-Stream Blender is supplied as standard with inline
strainer containing 80 mesh basket.
Automatic Isolation
Each of the streams has isolation valve for easy maintenance.
