This topic discusses the requirements and challenges of Crude Oil Blending, such as the blending procedure, tools, and aspects of process optimization.
Description
In the past, refineries were constructed to distill conventional light crude oils. However, current economic variations in the price of crude oils and shifting demand for distillates have forced refineries to reduce the cost of their distillation feedstock. The requirement of uniform crude oil quality is commonly achieved by blending high-value light crude oils with heavy (unconventional) crude oils of inferior quality or buying ready-made blends.
