New Smith Meter Skids Now 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. The same engineering professionals who design the world-renowned Smith Meter measuring equipment have designed biofuels blending skids to precise global specifications.
FMC provides cost effective system integration with a flexible approach and open architecture products such as the Smith Meter AccuLoad preset. Using only FMC equipment and electronics ensures custody transfer accuracy and performance.

The Environmental Protection Agencys (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.

Proven Reliable Accurate

Ethanol or Biodiesel Blending

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 to build your next biofuels blending skid, already designed to meet your specific needs.

Benefits
Standard pre-packaged skids support up to four blend streams Standard blend rates range from 2% to 25% at a typical loading rate of 600 GPM Small skid footprint is suitable for new or retrofit upgrade installations Standard skids accommodate a variety of blending techniques including ratio, sidestream, and wildstream blending Pre-packaged skids reduce cost and terminal downtime Best-in-industry measurement expertise Full support of FMC Technologies global customer distribution and field service network

The same engineering professionals who design the world-renowned Smith Meter measuring equipment, also design biofuels skids to precise global specifications. Why settle for less?

Blending Methods
Ratio Blending

Gasoline

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.
