Automated methods and systems for blending high sulfur hydrocarbons, particularly those derived from transmix, into low sulfur hydrocarbon streams are provided. Also provided are methods for splitting transmix into usable hydrocarbon fractions and blending the fractions back into defined hydrocarbon streams.

Controlled blending of transmix fractions into defined hydrocarbon streams

The invention provides a method for enriching diluents with butane so as not to violate pre-defined limits for liquid hydrocarbon fuels with respect to density, volatility and low density hydrocarbon content.

Methods for expanding and enriching hydrocarbon diluent pools

Methods are provided for accurately blending biodiesel into distillate streams to achieve a pre-determined percentage of biodiesel in the distillate, applicable to wild-type distillate streams as well as distillate streams that already contain some percentage of biodiesel.

Controlled blending of biodiesel into distillate streams

Methods for blending transmix containing distillates such as diesel fuel into certified gasoline streams that can be burned in internal combustion engines without affecting the certification of the gasoline or the efficiency or operability of the engine.

Methods of blending off transmix into gasoline streams

Automated methods and systems for diverting transmix from a petroleum pipeline are provided to reduce the overall production of transmix on the pipeline, based on pre-defined programmed cut-points associated with the various subtypes of hydrocarbon carried on the pipeline.

Methods for reducing transmix production on petroleum pipelines

A highly accurate projectile for use with small arms especially pistols and revolvers, having a cylindrically-shaped body portion and a nose formed adjacent thereto. The cylindrically-shaped body has a length which is equal to at least half the overall length of the projectile in order to position the center of gravity of the projectile within the body portion. The nose of the projectile is in the nominal shape of a truncated cone having sides which are rounded at the forward end thereof in order to meet a flat front surface. The flat front surface locates the center of pressure of the projectile well forward of the center of gravity of the projectile. The unique configuration and distribution of weight of the projectile allows for its highly accurate use with small arms.
