Rising costs and fluctuations in feedstock quality make blending low-cost; on-specification bunker fuel difficult and many suppliers produce higher specification products than needed. A Jiskoot in-line blender can save between $1 and $5 a tonne by minimising the distillate give away.
Jiskoot blenders use a controller with unique control algorithms that respond instantly to changes in process conditions or feedstock quality. The heavy fuel oil and cutter stock are continuously measured and adjusted during the batch to ensure optimum quality and minimum give-away. Jiskoot systems are designed to ensure consistent quality throughout the batch even during tank changes, feedstock starvation, loss of power or the unlikely failure of a system component. The final product is mixed in the blender header where a viscosity analyser can be installed. The viscometer generates a control signal, which can be used to continually optimise the blended product by adjusting the component ratio during the batch. This ensures that the blended product is produced at the lowest cost and remains as specified at all times.
Jiskoot blenders are simple to use. The desired recipe and volume or mass is selected from the controller and the blend started. Once initiated; the blending process is automatic and produces the final product with no intervention, only informing an operator if an alarm condition occurs.
The control system produces all billing, loading and transaction documents (in volume or mass) including trend reports for major parameters (such as viscosity) in case of dispute.
Blenders can be skid mounted (for installation on a barge, jetty or shore), mounted in a container offering a portable, safe working environment or self-contained on a trailer allowing one blender to be used at multiple locations.
