Oil Blending

The program Oil Blending covers calculations in US customary and Metric units.

You can select from the drop-down list the way of calculations: in US customary units or in Metric units: In calculations in Metric units you can select from the drop-down list which table to use for calculation of VCF (CTPL) by selecting either Table 54A for"Crude",  or   Table 54B  for "Product", or Table 54D for "Lube": In calculations in US customary units you can select from the drop-down list which table to use for calculation of VCF (CTPL) by selecting either Table 6A  for "Crude",  or Table 6B for "Product", or Table 6D for "Lube":
In addition to the quality parameters  of the blend  you  can  calculate  the   price  of  the blend, if you fill in the price of each componenet either in US dollars per US barrel or per Metric ton in air as shown on the above pictures.

In both options of calculations  ("Metric  units"  or  "US  customary   units"),  you can calculate the following quality parameters of the oil blend.   Some parameters  may have several different methods of calculations and you can select the method to be used from the drop-down list: You can select an option of taking into account olefin and aromatics content while calcu-
lating Octane numbers (RON or MON): Youcan also calculate the density  of the blend  of the heavier component  with a lighter diluent.   The big difference  in densities of  the heavier component  and  of   the diluent usually result in shrinkage which is taken into account in calculations. Such calculations allow up to 6 iterations of calculations: For your convenience  in  Oil Blending  you can use  a built-in interpolation calculator  of volumes allowing to take into account simultaneously product level (ullage or innage) and the trim or list correction: As you can see, this program has a lot of useful features designed to automate and facili-
tates the calculation of quality parameters of the blend and its price.

We only showed some of useful capabilities available in our oil blending program.

There is also a converter of temperatures and viscosities, like the calculation of the visco-
sity  at   the different temperature  knowing viscosities  at  two different temperatures  or knowing only one viscosity at a certain temperature by means of a beta-factor either for a light or a dark product.
