Abstract:
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.

Claim (Index 17):
A system for reducing transmix production on a pipeline comprising:\n a) a transmission pipe comprising a flow of hydrocarbon subtypes in sequence comprising a first subtype and a second subtype separated by transmix; b) a transmix pipe in fluid communication with the transmission pipe, separated from the transmission pipe by an automated diversion valve; c) a first analytical unit in sensory communication with the transmission pipe, for generating measurements of a physical property of the flow; d) a central processing unit in sensory communication with the first analytical unit and the transmix valve, logically programmed to receive the measurements from the analytical unit, compare the measurements to first subtype and second subtype cut-points, signal the diversion valve to turn toward the transmix pipe when the measurements reach the first subtype cut-point, and signal the diversion valve to turn the flow toward the transmission pipe when the measurements reach the second subtype cut-point.
