Abstract: In todays business environment of increasing costs, processes must be automated to keep pace with soaring energy prices, increased cost of feedstock, labor maintenance, and so on. By maintaining tighter control of product purity, reducing expenditures of fuel and eliminating waste, most processes can be made more profitable. Automation is usually the key to these increased profits. One area in which automation has made significant contributions is that of component blending. One obvious example of component blending is gasoline. With the advent of multiple grades of gasoline, each with a varying octane content, blending to a prescribed ratio becomes imperative. Previously, this blending was done in batch operations in which a measured amount of each component was mixed in a large tank. This necessitated rather large, expensive storage installations, as well as product waste resulting from off-specification product. Product surplus can be just as damaging to profits, since a nonmarketable surplus implies a stored inventory.
