Overview

The Biofuel Blending System (BBS) is an in-line blending system for biofuels. The BBS allows the end user to blend biofuels on the fly and closely manage blend ratios as the supply of feedstock fluctuates. It leverages the field-proven architecture of the Additive Injection System and positions retailers to capitalize on incentives being offered through the Renewable Fuels Standard Program as well as other state programs.

BBS Controller

The BBS Controller is a central computer that controls the blending logic for system. It monitors the flow of fuel and proportionally blends the required amount of biofuels during the transaction in accordance with the target blend ratio set by the end user. Precision flow meters connect directly to the controller to determine the blend accuracy, making corrections if necessary.

BBS Controller, Part Number: 30001

The BBS is compatible with the following consoles

TLS-450PLUS ATG 
TLS4 & TLS4B ATGs
Legacy Veeder-Root ATGs

System Options

The Biofuel Blending System is available in two different configurations and two different line sizes – 2" and 3", which allows 180 Gallons Per Minute (GPM) and 350 GPM respectively.

Aboveground System Options

The aboveground BBS is configured with the diesel and biodiesel product inputs and blended product output on the same side. This allows for the product lines to come into the same transition sump. Compatible sumps for this configuration are Fiberlite Gasboy 9840 and 9850 or equivalent. The aboveground BBS can be installed in a shed or small enclosure. The stainless steel enclosure (part number: 34001) is designed specifically for this configuration.

Underground System Options

The underground BBS is configured with the diesel and biodiesel product inputs and blended product output on opposite ends. This allows for the BBS to be installed in-line with the product lines and main trunk line going out to the dispenser island. The underground BBS is ideal to optimize site lines and eliminates the need for secondary outbuildings. Compatible sumps for the underground BBS are the Bravo 66” L x 66” W x 60” H sump or equivalent.
