DENSITY AND VISCOSITY EQUATION OF BLEND OIL

Abstract

"Extracted oils and gases have different physical and chemical properties, depending on oil structures. Thus, it is beneficial to create mixtures of oils by combining cheaper crude oils with variants that have better properties (Brent type). This will result, in a reduced cost of acquisition. Mixing crude oil (obtaining blend crude oil) is a process in constant development, so that new ways for improving crude oil properties can be surfaced and to create new ways for transport and storage with lower costs. As an example, by mixing crude oil we can ensure viscosities and freezing conditions for certain transport systems. The aim of this paper is to present the techniques for mixing crude oil, the study of technologies, equipment needed for it and the numerical models for obtaining optimal mixing rates. "
