Fuel Blending & Additive Injection Systems

Accurate fuel blending is essential for maintaining product quality, meeting regulatory requirements, and ensuring consistent additive dosing. Flowquip supplies complete fuel blending solutions using precision flow meters and the industry-proven Contrec 515 Additive Controller, providing reliable and repeatable control of additive injection across a wide range of fuel transfer and loading applications.

Our systems are designed to accurately inject additives into petrol, diesel, biodiesel, HVO, aviation fuels, and other hydrocarbon products, ensuring the correct additive-to-fuel ratio is maintained throughout the blending process.

Precision Flow Measurement for Fuel Blending

The foundation of any successful blending system is accurate flow measurement. Flowquip offers a range of flow meter technologies suitable for fuel and additive measurement, including turbine, positive displacement, oval gear, and Coriolis flow meters.

By accurately monitoring both the main fuel flow and the additive stream, our systems ensure precise blend ratios, helping operators achieve consistent product quality while reducing additive wastage and operating costs.

Benefits of Flowquip fuel blending systems include:

  • Accurate additive dosing and blend control
  • Improved fuel quality and consistency
  • Reduced additive consumption and product giveaway
  • Enhanced process efficiency
  • Automated operation with minimal operator intervention
  • Reliable performance in demanding environments
  • Integration with existing loading and terminal systems

Contrec 515 Additive Controller

The Contrec 515 Additive Controller is a dedicated additive management system designed specifically for fuel blending and additive injection applications. The controller continuously monitors the main product flow and automatically adjusts additive injection rates to maintain the required blend ratio.

This closed-loop control ensures highly accurate dosing even when fuel flow rates fluctuate during loading or transfer operations.

Key features of the Contrec 515 include:

  • Real-time ratio control between product and additive flows
  • High accuracy additive injection management
  • Multiple additive stream capability
