SOFTWARE FOR THE COMPOUNDING PROCESS OF MOTOR GASOLINE

The increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is one of the world's problems of our time, as this phenomenon leads to an increase in the global temperature of the Earth. The international community faces the challenge of transitioning to low-carbon development. Transport ranks second after energy in terms of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, so it is necessary to develop methods in this area to reduce the «carbon footprint». A study of the world experience in the transition to decarbonization in terms of transport has shown that the basic methods are worth a lot of investment. The authors suggest using a less expensive method, which concerns the optimization of the chemical composition of motor fuels.At refineries, compounding (mixing) of gasoline is an important, final stage of the complete technological chain of the process, its preparation and conduct determine the quality of marketable products and compliance with the requirements of standards.The authors analyze the existing software packages that optimize the process of preparing high-octane gasoline and determine the best recipe for mixing components to produce commercial gasoline. The literature review showed that, taking into account the global climate problem, all currently available software has a significant drawback – they model the optimal fuel composition without taking into account minimum CO2 emissions. The researchers faced the task of developing an information and analytical system that will allow them to calculate the composition of gasoline, taking into account the lowest CO2 emissions. The developers of the new analytical system managed to create a program with a user-friendly interface that is able to calculate the rational composition of gasoline, taking into account gasoline quality standards and low carbon content.
