This method is commonly used for products that have similar density and viscosity, characteristics that enable them to mix well. The disadvantages of sequential blending biodiesel is that when products have dissimilar characteristics the blend may stratify in the fuel due to inadequate mixing or there is not enough room in the truck to get the required volume of each product. 2, record 3, English, - sequential%20blending

Currently, fuel additives are typically added to the fuel at large fuel terminals to bulk storage tanks, tank trucks, rail cars or other storage receptacles. The fuel is added by a process known as "splash blending" which means the additives are added as the fuel is being loaded into the receptacle. The process relies on the splashing of the liquids to effect mixing.... Splash blending can also be used to mix the additive with the fuel at on-site tanks. In this case the additive is added to, for example, a bulk fuel tank or bunker tank located at the site of end-use. The splashing of the liquids mixes the additives as the tank is being filled from a fuel distribution vehicle or pipeline. Fuel distribution vehicles can include trucks, rail cars, barges or the like. 3, record 4, English, - splash%20blending

Ethanol cannot be moved effectively through today’s pipeline system, as it tends to get pulled into the water that usually exists in petroleum pipelines and tanks. Instead, it is blended at terminals near the end users. Splash blending, in which ethanol is added directly to a tanker truck along with the base gasoline, is commonly used. 4, record 4, English, - splash%20blending
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
"splash blending" generally refers to a blending process done by pouring products together, for example, manually pouring an additive into a shipping compartment. This may occur at the loading rack when a vehicle (barge or truck) is being loaded, or enroute. Typically, analysis is only done for the splash blending of lubricants. 5, record 4, English, - splash%20blending

Le mélange par barbotage est une opération où le biodiésel et le diésel sont versés séparément dans un réservoir et pendant laquelle les deux carburants se mélangent relativement peu. Le réceptacle est généralement le réservoir à carburant d'un véhicule ou la citerne d'un camion.

Les USA [États-unis d'Amérique] et la Suède, enfin, préconisent un mélange à hauteur de 5-10 % d'éthanol, sans modification de moteur. Afin d'éviter les problèmes de démixtion, le mélange est souvent effectué le plus en aval possible, c'est à dire à la pompe à essence même («splash blending»). Les brésiliens, au contraire, préparent le mélange directement au dépôt. Cette technique sera bientôt également utilisée en Suède. [...] À noter par ailleurs que la grande majorité des unités à mettre en service prochainement en Espagne et en France recourront au mélange direct. 4, record 4, French, - m%C3%A9lange%20par%20barbotage

E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. has developed a novel approach to gain some of the advantages of a coextruded blow-molded bottle without the cost and complexity of multiple extruders and expensive scrap reclaim systems. Only minor modification of the basic equipment is required. A barrier resin is tailored for physical blending with a base resin in much the same way that colorant is blended with a resin. However, instead of producing a homogenized mix, the barrier resin is permitted to laminate in the base resin. Several random multiple layers of barrier resin of various lengths and sizes are created. Although no single layer completely covers the entire shape and surface of the bottle, barrier is created by the "tortuous path" the permeating gas must follow. A modified nylon material is the first to be used for this approach. Applications include fuel tanks and bottles for agricultural chemicals, thinners, and solvents. 1, record 5, English, - blended%20resin
