Fuel blending is a critical process in the refining and petrochemical industries, involving the combinacrudetion of various petroleum products to create a final product that meets specific specifications and standards.

Different blending technologies are employed:

• In-line blending
  This method involves injecting proportionate amounts of each component into the main stream, where turbulence promotes thorough mixing.
• Batch tank blending
  This method involves storing each component in separate tanks and then blending them together in a batch tank.
• Stationary batch tank lube in-line blending
  This method involves blending lubricating oils in a stationary batch tank and then pumping the blended oil into a pipeline for further processing.
• Moving batch tank lube in-line blending
  This method involves blending lubricating oils in a moving batch tank and then pumping the blended oil into a pipeline for further processing.
