Abstract

This paper introduces a calculation method for the minimum admissible octane number subject to the measurement errors, which is the objective in the gasoline blending optimization problems. The tasks and functionality of the on-line blending optimization system are formulated. A periodic calibration validation algorithm is suggested for the in-flow blend quality analyzers as the key elements of the optimization system. Finally, some pilot projects on the implementation of the optimization systems with in-flow blend quality analysis are presented.
