Gasoline Blending Direct to Ship

A new control system and single-blend optimization system make it possible to blend gasoline directly into tanker ships for delivery, rather than only into tanks, thereby saving millions in capital and reducing product giveaway. In addition to terminal equipment, the facility has eight berths for ships and more than 100 tanks of various sizes with total capacity of 10.5 MMbbl. The complex can facilitate 10 crude ships per month. This presentation will highlight how automation overcame several challenges with gasoline blending direct to ship.
