SMITH METER SKIDS AVAILABLE DIRECT FROM FMC TECHNOLOGIES

Smith Meter equipment, from FMC Technologies, has long

been the standard for loading and blending ethanol or

biodiesel and other biofuels. Now terminal owners and

operators can have precision load rack skids direct from

FMC Technologies. The same engineering professionals

who design the world-renowned Smith Meter measuring

equipment have designed biofuels blending skids to precise

global specifications.

Smith Meter® Integrated Biofuels Blending Skids

The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) demanding

renewable fuel standards (i.e., RFS2) require stringent fluid

handling and measurement accuracy – the kind of accuracy

Smith Meter equipment is known for. Your terminal operation

demands properly designed and fitted skid-mounted equipment

to maximize your return-on-investment.

We put you first.And keep you ahead.

PROVEN, RELIABLE, ACCURATE

FMC Technologies integrated biofuels blending modules meet

the needs of a convenient, turnkey solution complete with

state-of-the-art metering technology and supported with a

comprehensive load rack product portfolio.

We incorporate the latest metering technology for positive

displacement and turbine meters, along with digital flow

control valves to provide optimum measurement accuracy.

Our skids integrate into existing blending-capable presets,

such as the Smith Meter AccuLoad® III. These blending presets

can quickly be reconfigured on-site, from straight product

loading to sidestream or ratio blend loading, resulting in

highly accurate biofuel blends.

At FMC Technologies, our core business is custody transfer

measurement and flow control. Our expertise in custody

transfer measurement, combined with our knowledge of

loading rack operating conditions, make us the best

choice for designing and building

biofuels blending systems

for your business. Choose

FMC Technologies to

build your next

biofuels blending

skid, already

designed to meet

your specific needs.

Blending Methods

Typically the term ratio blending is used where the biofuel

stream is mixed with the main product stream “downstream”

of the main product meter. One electronic controller device

manages all flow streams. (Illustrated is a three stream

metering system). With this blending method, the biofuel

stream is considered part of the custody transfer metering.

The main advantage for Ratio Blending is that all final

components are individually and accurately measured,

thus enabling correct inventory reconciliation. This method

provides the most accurate final custody transfer volume

information.

Side stream blending, an alternative to ratio blending, is

where the biofuel meter stream is mixed “upstream” of the

main product stream delivery meter, which measures the

total of the delivered blend product. (Illustrated is a three

stream metering system). The volumes of each product are

derived by subtracting the secondary component total from

the delivery total. These volumes are then available for

inventory reconciliation. Thus, the accuracy of this method

is dependent on the precision of the product meter at each

individual arm. The biofuel stream must be pumped into the

main product stream at a higher pressure in order to get the

product into the main line. This alternative method aids in

the mixing process as the blended product passes through

a meter that mechanically mixes,or integrates the fuel.
