Icon Ethanol Blend Optimizer

Calculate how much our Ethanol Blender could save you

Uncertainty in blending can cost refineries millions and there hasn’t been a way to be 100% sure the ethanol blend meets spec – until now.

The Icon Ethanol Blend Optimizer integrates seamlessly into the blending control system, analyzing the blend and optimizing it to meet specifications. This allows refineries to obtain the full economic benefit of online analyzer control and certification of the final product by guaranteeing blend quality by accurately testing the final blend. It’s time to remove guesswork from your operation and see how much you could save today.

How the Ethanol Blend Optimizer works

The Ethanol Blend Optimizer is a unique patented system that uses precision engineered piston cylinder assemblies, rigidly mounted together and mechanically linked, to mix a combined BOB/ethanol sample flow to the analyzers in the required ratio at very high precision – better than± 0.05%.

The complete system is mounted in a temperature controlled cabinet. A concurrent heat exchanger and pressure control is provided on the inlet BOB sample and ethanol flows, to ensure they are the same temperature and pressure before mixing to maintain the highest possible accuracy.

Safety features include leak detection in the cabinet that automatically isolates the BOB sample and ethanol inlet lines.

The piston cylinders provide a very wide flow rangeability, without impacting precision, that is simply not possible with other mixing techniques.
