Fuel blending calculator launched


Online calculator is designed to assist clients to develop the optimal blend ratio.



Hydrocarbon sampling specialist Jiskoot has developed a new online ratio blending calculator on the Cameron-branded jiskoot.com website.

The online calculator is designed for blending two liquid hydrocarbons and is aimed at assisting clients to develop the optimal blend ratio and specification for their application. It calculates the blend ratio (volume or mass) required to achieve target blend density, viscosity or sulphur parameters based on component specifications.

Blend costs can also be calculated to help determine optimal component selection. In addition, the calculator can be used to determine the final blend specification achieved when using a defined blend ratio (mass or volume) based on input component specifications.

The calculator is designed specifically for fuel and heavy oil blending but may be suitable for other hydrocarbon blending. A multi-stream version of the blend calculator is planned for the future, Jiskoot said.
