Ethanol Blending

The mandates for refineries to have the ability to blend Ethanol by 2011 are still in place and the meter is running. The EPA’s recent “Renewable Fuels Standard” calls for 36 billion gallons of ethanol blended fuels to be processed in the United States per year by 2022.

Our TEA team has vast experience in ethanol blending and its processing. We have been involved with ethanol processing all over our country. Our hands-on experience of having over 28 successful and now-operating Ethanol Blending conversions to our credit means we can better help you understand exactly what all those processes entail. Plus, we can help you to plan for your new ethanol blending operations and help you understand how the addition to your facility will impact and effect your current day-to-day facilities operation.

Our experienced TEA team can help you make better-enlightened decisions that will fit within both your budget and your facility.

We can come to your site and do an analysis of your existing facilities equipment. This will help you determine which method of blending better suits your current situation and how it will work in your existing space allotment.

In-Line Blending: (sometimes called ratio blending) Each component of the final blend flows thru its own meter equipment simultaneously blending two or more components.

Sequential Blending: The loading of one component of the blend, one at a time, thru a single flow meter and subsequent flow control valve.

Wild Stream Blending: (sometimes referred to as Sidestream Blending) This method is typically used to inject ethanol into gasoline. Ethanol is injected into the gasoline stream and the custody transfer meter measures the blend. This method can use a stand-alone blender system or individual meters and control valves for the ethanol.

Regardless of which method is chosen, our TEA team will be with you from the conception to completion of your project.

Our experience with this type of project will allow us to anticipate your needs. We can help you maximize your efficiency while showing you ways to minimize your capital outlay.

We can provide the engineering and design drawings for your project, or we offer our exclusive Design2Build process.
