Additive Injector
The All-Line Equipment Additive Injector is designed to be used on a fuel truck, at a bulk plant, or anywhere else to create premium fuel from regular fuel and one or more additives. It is designed for easy installation and is very simple to configure and use. Configuration is generally necessary only once, and running it is as simple as flipping a switch.
Features
- Many possible configurations depending on the needs of the customer:
- Single main product stream, single additive stream
- Single main product stream, two additive streams
- Two main product streams, one additive stream per product
- Two main product streams, two additive streams per product
- Ratio blending (fine pump speed control for real-time high-accuracy blending)
- Also capable of sequential batch blending (using a solenoid valve to control additive flow) if desired
- Also capable of transport operation (accurately dispensing a certain amount of additive) with multiple compartments
- Advanced software embedded in the controller enables intelligent additizing and logical error handling
- Easy-to-read display
- 12-key weatherproof membrane keypad with tactile response
- Weatherproof enclosure
- Small footprint and minimal wiring requirements
- Records all transactions to a regular USB Flash drive for accountability
- Blend ratios changeable on the fly
- Capable of remote viewing and control by a PC running Windows (uses a serial port or Ethernet connection)
- We work with customers to build the best product that best fits their situation
Method of Operation
(click for larger version)
Our injector has direct control over pumps and valves to perform the actual blending of product and additive. The primary method by which blending occurs is ratio blending – the speed of the pump that pumps the additive is varied in real time to match the flow rate of the main product stream. Main product is counted using incoming pulses, with a configurable pulse-per-gallon/liter rate. Additive product is measured the same way, using a high-accuracy oval gear flow meter delivering, on average, 7550 pulses per gallon (2000 pulses per liter) for very fine-grained additive dispensing.
Essentially, the software embedded in the controller measures the flow rate of main product and generates a flow of additive that matches (according to the blend ratio). Were any errors to occur, the software will recognize the error condition, such as being too far behind or too far ahead, and report it using flashing alarm lights and a message on the display. It will also record the error information to the supplied USB Flash drive, allowing the errors to be analyzed later. All normal transactions are recorded to the USB Flash drive as well.
Design
Our injector is designed with high standards in mind, and we continue to push these standards ever higher. The design of our injector is constantly under review for future changes, and we're always looking for ways to improve our product. Although we attempt to keep this website up to date, our product information may differ slightly from the specifications here, but the difference is nearly always an improvement.
