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 2):
An automated method for reducing transmix production on a pipeline comprising:\n a) providing a flow of hydrocarbon in a transmission pipe comprising first and second hydrocarbon subtypes in sequence separated by transmix; b) providing a transmix pipe in fluid communication with the transmission pipe separated from the transmission pipe by a transmix valve under the control of a central processing unit; c) providing first and second cut-points for different physical properties of the first subtype; d) providing first and second cut-points for different physical properties of the second subtype; e) repeatedly analyzing the flow for physical property measurements; f) comparing, in the central processing unit, the physical property measurements to the first and second cut-points of the first subtype, and diverting the flow to a transmix pipe when the measurements reach the first or second cut-point of the first subtype; g) resuming the flow through the transmission pipe when the measurements reach the first and second cut-points for the second subtype.
