Description:

The ConocoPhillips Wood River refinery has three in-line (direct to pipeline) gasoline blenders that rely on a sophisticated optimization system utilizing on-line Near Infrared (NIR) analyzers to certify gasoline properties. Optimal Gasoline Blending contributes more than half of the APC savings of the entire refinery. The blending control system is a TDC-3000 utilizing Honeywell’s Blend Ratio Control (BRC) to control recipe ratios, Blend Property Control (BPC) to on-line optimize the recipes. The systems needed to effectively and optimally in-line blend and on-line certify are many. The presentation focuses on the work processes, systems, and keys to optimally blend gasoline in a competitive refining economy.
