Terminal Additive Dosing: Getting the Right Additive Into Every Load

At a glance. Branded fuels get their performance additives, dyes and markers at the loading bay, not at the refinery. Each compartment needs the right dose, and each load needs a record. The Tech Inc. Terminal Additive Dosing Skid injects in proportion to the loaded volume on a signal from the batch controller. For fuel terminals, it is one of the best upgrades they can make.

What is on the skid

• Additive storage tank with level gauge

• Metering pumps or injector panels, one per additive

• Additive flow meters and solenoid valves

• Filters, check valves and pressure relief

• Interface to the terminal batch controller

Versions

Version	Use
Single-additive skid	One additive for one or more bays
Multi-additive skid	Several additives, dyes or markers
Injector panel	Meter-and-valve injectors fed from a central pump set

Why it is one of the best things to happen to fuel terminals

• The right dose every time. Injection follows the loaded volume.

• A record for every load. Additive quantity logged per batch.

• Compact. Tank, pumps, meters and controls on one frame.

• Ready for the automation system. Interfaces to the terminal's batch controllers.

Where it is used

Fuel terminals and depots, refinery product loading, aviation fuel farms and blending stations, alongside truck and tanker loading skids.
