- 6. MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS WHY BLEND ? • The objective is to blend a low value, low specification product with a high value, high specification product to maximise the sale price and improve the quality of the lower specification product • Deliver an Accurate Volume/Mass • Product Which Meets Specifications & Environmental Regulations • At the Lowest Cost • In the Quickest Time • With the Maximum Flexibility
- 7. MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS • Fluctuating Crude And Feedstock Prices • Increasing Concern Over Quality And Quantity • Growth Of SECA‟s • Customers Are Disputing Deliveries • Improved Customer Measurement – Not Necessarily Used Correctly • Increased Use Of Blended Fuels • Need For Improved Validation Of Quality • High Volume Low Margin Market • Must Be Lowest Cost Producer • Efficiency Wins!
- 8. MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS Amendments to MARPOL Annex VI Approved in Oct 08 Global Cap Reduced to 3.50% from 1 Jan 2012 (S)ECA - 1% in 2010 and 0.1% by Jan 2015 0.50%, effective 1 Jan 2020, subject to a feasibility review by 2018. – Should 2018 review reach a negative conclusion, effective date would default to 1 Jan 2025 Proposed Fuel options aimed at reducing emissions – Sox / Nox – PM – Consequential impact on Co2 and Global impact

- 13. MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS INACCURACY What does it cost the Bunker Blending Industry? Feedstock : 630cSt HFO & 5cSt GO To Blend 380cSt IFO Requires 5.8% Gas Oil To Blend 255cSt IFO Requires 10.7% Gas Oil Assumptions : 630cSt HFO Costs $280 / MT 5cSt GO Costs $530 / MT (Bunkerworld 30/04/09)
- 14. MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS INACCURACY What does it cost the Bunker Blending Industry? 100 MT 380cSt IFO = 94.2 MT 630cSt HFO @ $280 / MT = $26,376 + 5.8 MT 5cSt GO @ $530 / MT = $ 3,074 Total Cost = $29,450 100 MT 255cSt IFO = 89.3 MT 630cSt HFO @ $280 / MT = $25,004 + 10.7 MT 5cSt GO @ $530 / MT = $ 5,671 Total Cost = $30,675 Difference = $1,225 / 100 MT = $12.25 / MT Your Annual Tonnage =250,000 MT ? Your Annual Savings = $3,062,500 ?

- 16. MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS HOW DOES A BLENDER WORK? IN-LINE BLENDING Ratio Control The components are metered and controlled by flow or weight Trim Control The blended output is continuously analysed and adjusted by viscosity
- 17. MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS HOW DOES A BLENDER WORK? RATIO CONTROL The blend controller produces a „set-point‟ for each stream based on the component ratio set in the recipe by the operator The „set-point‟ for each stream is compared to the signal from the flow meter (volume or mass) The control loop is closed by a control valve (or a speed controlled pump) to ensure that the set-point is maintained irrespective of changes in overall blend rate The accuracy of the final blend is a direct function of the selection and accuracy of the flow meters used
- 18. MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS HOW DOES A BLENDER WORK? RATIO CONTROL Typically Used In Mechanical Blenders Slow To React – Poor Control Recipe Flaws Poor Accuracy Affected By Feedstock No Compensation Ability Static Mixer Pressure Drop
- 19. MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS HOW DOES A BLENDER WORK? RATIO CONTROL WITH VISCOSITY CONTROL Static Mixer V T Static Mixer – “Folds” Rather Than “Forces” Viscometer In Line – Not Stable Environment Not At Reference Temperature Temperature Correction Set For One Oil Maximum Pressure Drop Limited Turn Down Limits Feed Stock

ADVANCED CLOSED LOOP CONTROL The blend controller produces a „set-point‟ initially produces a „set-point‟ for each stream based on the component ratio set in the recipe by the operator ratio set in the recipe by the operator The „set-point‟ for each stream is compared to the signal from the viscometers (volume or to the signal from the flow meterand flow meters and is mass) immediately adjusted and compensating The control loop is closed by a control valve to ensure that controlled viscosity is maintained (or a speed the correctpump) to ensure that irrespective is maintained irrespective rate the set-pointof changes in overall blend of The accuracy of the finalrate is tightly changes in overall blend blend The accuracy of the final blend is ameters and is controlled by the viscometers, flow direct constantly the selection the accuracy function of monitored by and controller. of the Themeters used flow controller ensures that end product is on spec at all times
