Additive Injection History & Development

Additive Injection – The History

As early as the 1930’s major oil companies began adding Detergent/Performance additives into Automotive fuels.

Gave brand recognition for the major oil 1938 – Texaco -SkyChiefcompanies.Made the engine run cleaner and more efficiently.Reduced emissions and pollutants.

1957 – Chevron - Supreme

Additive Injection – The History

Initially additive was added in variety of ad hoc methods. Often inaccurately bulk blended at the storage tank or filling station.All road tankers were top loaded at this time, therefore additives were often added unsafely by hand in calibrated vessels.These methods survived for many years.Not until 1980’s did stricter regulation lead to:

Need for greater dosing accuracy.Greater awareness of additive toxicity.Reconciliation and quality controls.Environmental awareness.

Additive Injection - The Turbine

In 1985 we launched the Turbine Driven Injector (Meq-Pak).

This allowed additive to be dosed

with great accuracy into the load

rack headers.

Much like the Servo Gauge, this

technology is still appropriate for

many current day applications.

Additive Injection – The Piston

With the explosion of automotive fuel additives in the 1980’s, came the requirement for more complex additive injection systems.

Major oil companies needed to differentiate their fuel from the smaller suppliers who also loaded their vehicles from the same terminals.

Therefore there was a requirement to move away from additive injection into the header, as all vehicles received the same additised product.

The MP38 Piston Injector was introduced in 1986, facilitating additiveinjection at the load arm. MP38 Piston Injector

Additive Injection – The Systems

With the advent of piston injectors came the requirement for peripheral equipment such as additive boost pump skids, additive storage tanks and monitoring and reconciliation systems.

This led to the development of the ‘Plug& Play’ ContainerisedAdditive System.

Additive Injection – Multi-User

1988, as more companies started to share the same road loading terminals, we introduced the first multi user additive injection system.

These PLC based systems allowed each vehicle to load its own dedicated additive recipe, and be followed onto the load rack by a vehicle from a different company, which could then load with a different additive and different recipe.

Additive Injection – Smart Additives

In line with other technology advancements of the time, the MPM (multi-pulse monitor)was developed to take the intelligence onto the load rack.

This brought stand-alone or integrated functionality to the additive injection system.

The MPM could handle all hardwired I/O, communications, reconciliation, and alarm monitoring, from one compact explosion proof housing.

Additive Injection – Metered Injection

The next major step in additiveinjection technology was the development of the meteredinjector.

This offered greater accuracydue to actual flow measurement,as opposed to inferred flowmeasurement of the piston injector.

This is now integrated into a number of engineered solutionsto meet the needs of today’sglobal fuel marketing companies.
