At FMC Blending & Transfer we understand the total picture of fuel blending operations. As a full service engineering design and construction management firm we can evaluate process concerns, provide engineering design, supply integrated blending technology, and offer construction management services under one single entity. Services include feasibility studies, conceptual design of manufacturing systems, detailed design of processing plants, provision of manufacturing equipment, and full-service plant construction and commissioning. FMC's continued success in implementing fuel blending systems is no coincidence. We are experts in linking all the elements of a fuel blending system by providing a totally integrated approach. To our customers, we are more than just an equipment supplier. Instead we are solutions providers and that allows us to integrate valuable process know-how into our fuel blending systems. The complete turnkey package, in addition to a skid-mounted In-Line blender and blend control system, also includes detail engineering services (i.e. process flow diagrams, technical descriptions, plot plans,

operation and maintenance manuals) and a project manager to oversee all aspects of the project and guarantee completion on time and on budget.
