Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods of in-line mixing of hydrocarbon liquids and/or renewable liquids from a plurality of tanks into a single pipeline based on density or gravity. According to an embodiment, a method of admixing hydrocarbon liquids from a plurality of tanks into a single pipeline to provide in-line mixing thereof includes initiating a blending process. The blending process including continuously blending two or more liquids over a period of time, each of the two or more liquids stored in corresponding tanks, each of the corresponding tanks connected, via pipeline, to a blend pipe thereby blending the two or more liquids into a blended liquid. The method further includes determining a density of each of the two or more liquids to be blended during the blending process. The method includes, in response to a determination that the blend process has not finished and after the passage of a specified time interval, determining an actual blend density of the blended liquid, via a blend sensor connected to the blend pipe, the blended liquid flowing through the blend pipe and in contact with the blend sensor, and the specified time interval less than a total duration of the blending process. The method includes determining an actual blend density of the blended liquid, via a blend sensor connected to the blend pipe, the blended liquid flowing through the blend pipe and in contact with the blend sensor, and the specified time interval less than a total duration of the blending process; comparing the actual blend density with a target blend density; and in response to a difference, based on the comparison, of the actual blend density and target blend density determining a corrected ratio based on each density of the two or more liquids, the actual blend density, and the target blend density and adjusting, via one or more flow control devices, flow of one or more of the two or more liquids, based on the corrected ratio.

Abstract: In a hydrocracking process, the hydrocarbon feed is processed by a guard reactor operating at maximum severity temperatures. The processing in the guard reactor maximizes the removal of metals and performs hydrodenitrogenation steps and hydrodesulfurization steps. The demetallized and partially desulfurized and denitrogenized hydrocarbon feed is then sent to a treating reactor for further hydrodenitrogenation and hydrodesulfurization before being sent further downstream for further hydrocracking processing.

Abstract: A modified asphalt binder with improved elastic properties and methods of making such modified asphalt binder. The modified asphalt binders may include one or more of an asphalt binder, a solvent deasphalted (SDA) pitch, a polymeric material, and optionally, a ground tire rubber. The disclosed modified asphalt binders exhibit properties consistent with decreased susceptibility to rutting and thus may be used in asphalt concrete applications.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the reduction of fouling in a crude unit. Chemicals containing Phosphorous are understood to be utilized in the production or transportation of certain types of crude oils. It is believed that the elevated levels of phosphorus are contributing to the excessive fouling observed in the preheat exchanger circuits and crude heaters.

Abstract: This bleeder guard is used for blinding pipe flanges in refineries, chemical plants, and other fluid processing plants joined in many places by flanged joints. The bleeder guard is an elongated rod, having a first end with a threaded surface and a second end with a smooth surface. The bleeder guard preferably is a smooth elongated rod of uniform diameter. The elongated rod typically has a cylindrical shape.

Abstract: Systems and methods to reduce pour point (PP) temperatures of fat-based compositions for use in transportation fuels. In one or more embodiments, methods and systems reduce the pour point of rendered fats using biologically-derived plant oils for effectively transporting the blended fat based compositions over long distances, thereby advantageously decreasing the heating and mixing requirements needed to maintain the compositional temperature above the pour point. In certain embodiments, the fat based composition comprises rendered animal fats, such as tallow in combination with distilled corn oil (DCO).

Abstract: Assemblies and methods to enhance a refining process associated with a refining operation may include supplying a material to first processing units associated with the refining operation. The assemblies and methods also may include conditioning unit material samples, and analyzing the samples via one or more spectroscopic analyzers. The assemblies and methods further may include prescriptively controlling, via one or more refinery process controllers, based at least in part on the unit material properties, the refinery processing assembly, so that the prescriptively controlling results in causing the refining process to produce intermediate materials, the unit materials, and/or the downstream materials having properties within selected ranges of target properties, thereby to cause the refining process to achieve material outputs that more accurately and responsively converge on one or more of the target properties.

Abstract: Assemblies and methods to enhance hydrotreating and fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) processes associated with a refining operation, during the processes, may include supplying a hydrocarbon feedstock to a cat feed hydrotreater (CFH) processing unit to produce CFH unit materials. The assemblies and methods also may include conditioning material samples, and analyzing the samples via one or more spectroscopic analyzers. The assemblies and methods further may include prescriptively controlling, via one or more FCC process controllers, based at least in part on the material properties, a FCC processing assembly, so that the prescriptively controlling results in causing the processes to produce CFH materials, intermediate materials, the unit materials, and/or the downstream materials having properties within selected ranges of target properties, thereby to cause the processes to achieve material outputs that more accurately and responsively converge on one or more of the target properties.
