Abstract: Most refined fuels and hydrocarbon products are formulated using different chemical blending and complex processing at the plants. Blending of the fuel and chemical products is necessary to conform to the required product quality and performance, but that can introduce problems and challenges for the quantitative and qualitative measurement of these products. Refined products may be altered or degraded prior to their use by environment and additives that are blended to reduce pressure loss while transporting the products through pipeline. A wide range of additives is blended to enhance performance enhancement, frictional loss during transportation, enhance refining processes, and/or retard product degradation. The effect of the additives on liquid metering often depends on the composition and concentration of the additives. Hence, pipeline and terminal metering systems must be adjusted to offset the influences for varying liquid properties and quantities of the blended additives. This paper highlights the effects some of the common and not so common fuel additives on liquid metering systems.
