  • Abstract
    An in-line gasoline blender installed at the Suntide Refinery, Corpus Christi, Texas, is discussed. The blender will produce blended gasoline at a maximum rate of 6000 barrels per hour. Up to eleven component streams are controlled to give the final gasoline blend. Each stream is controlled by a digital control system to maintain that component as a fixed percentage of the total blend.
