AIM Block (Additive Injection Manifold)

Additive Injection Manifold (AIM) block is a compact all stainless steel manifold assembly complete with isolating, flow regulating & check valves, a fine mesh strainer, solenoid valve & a precision oval gear flowmeter. AIM injects small amounts of modifying additives & performance enhancing agents into fuels & base products. These include lubricants, dyes, colourings, denaturants, detergents, odorizing, anti-freeze, anti-corrosion, anti-static, anti-detonating, anti-icing, anti-foaming and emulsifiers. AIM block will work with any controller or TAS system, serving as a composite slave assembly for accurate blending of fuel additives to fuels at loading facilities, stationary & mobile transfer units within the petroleum industry worldwide.

AIM Block for Accurate Fuel Additive Injection

The AIM Block (Additive Injection Manifold) is designed to inject small, controlled amounts of additives into fuels and base products. It supports accurate blending by combining key components such as isolating valves, flow regulating valves, check valves, a fine mesh strainer, solenoid valve and precision oval gear flowmeter in one compact stainless-steel assembly.

This makes the AIM Block suitable for fuel handling systems where accuracy, repeatability, and controlled additive dosing are important. It can be used with a controller or TAS system, allowing it to operate as a slave assembly within larger loading or transfer operations.

AIM Block Additive Injection Manifold Applications

The AIM Block (Additive Injection Manifold) is used in petroleum and fuel handling applications where additives need to be blended into fuels or base products during transfer or loading.

It can support the injection of modifying additives and performance enhancing agents such as:

• lubricants
• dyes and colourings
• denaturants
• detergents
• odorizing agents
• anti-freeze additives
• anti-corrosion additives
• anti-static additives
• anti-detonating additives
• anti-icing additives
• anti-foaming agents
• emulsifiers

The AIM Block can be used in loading facilities, stationary transfer units, and mobile transfer units where controlled fuel additive injection is required. Its compact design helps operators manage additive blending in a practical and serviceable way.

AIM Block Features and Technical Overview

The AIM Block is built as a compact stainless steel manifold assembly for additive injection applications. It includes essential flow control and measurement components to support accurate dosing and reliable operation.

Key features include:

• Compact stainless steel design with stainless gears
• Detachable valve assemblies and meter
• Modular process connections
• Precision oval gear flowmeter
• Isolating, flow regulating and check valves
• Fine mesh strainer
• Solenoid valve
• High accuracy and repeatability of ±0.5% or better
• Simple installation and in-situ servicing
• ATEX/IECEx approved explosionproof electrics
• Quadrature pulse output option

These features make the AIM Block suitable for controlled additive injection where accuracy, durability, and ease of servicing are important.

Benefits of Using an AIM Block in Loading Facilities

Using an AIM Block in loading facilities can help improve the accuracy and control of fuel additive blending. Since the manifold includes flow control, filtration, valve assemblies, and a precision oval gear flowmeter, it provides a compact solution for managing additive injection during loading or transfer operations.

Key benefits include:

• Accurate additive dosing into fuels and base products
• Compact design for easier system integration
• Stainless steel construction for long-term use
• Detachable components for easier servicing
• Compatibility with controller or TAS systems
• Suitable for stationary and mobile transfer units
• Helps support consistent additive blending during fuel handling

For loading facilities, controlled additive injection is important because incorrect dosing can affect fuel quality, product consistency, and performance. The AIM Block helps operators manage this process with better control and repeatability.
