At Bracofeed, we don’t just blend crude – we craft solutions that unlock hidden value in every barrel. Here’s how our team delivers exceptional service from our Rotterdam tank farm:
1. The Art and Science of Blending
Our veteran blend engineers (avg. 15 years’ experience) treat each order like a signature recipe. They analyze your base crude’s DNA – viscosity, sulfur content, sediment levels – then carefully marry it with complementary streams.
Picture this: At 3 AM, while most terminals sleep, our lab techs are running real-time assays to hit a client’s 0.7% sulfur target before a sunrise loading window. That’s our standard.
2. Infrastructure Built for Flexibility
Imagine 12 dedicated blending loops operating like a symphony:
Heated pipelines prevent waxing in heavy crudes
In-line static mixers ensure homogeneity
Additive injection points every 200 meters for precision tweaks
Last quarter, we successfully blended 7 different grades simultaneously for a trader needing urgent Kuwaiti-Brent alignment. No sweat.
3. Your Success, Our Obsession
We keep a “Blending Playbook” for each client – your preferred methods, past challenges, even how you like reports formatted. When you call, we already know your needs.
That time a refinery’s unit choked on unexpected metals? Our team identified the issue mid-discharge, adjusted the blend in-transit, and saved them $2M in catalyst damage. Just another Tuesday for us.
4. Transparency You Can Taste
Every blend gets a “Birth Certificate” – a digital twin tracking:
Exact composition percentages
Additive batch numbers
Even which of our operators approved each step
Clients joke they know more about their Bracofeed-blended crude than their morning coffee.
Why This Matters to You
When you partner with us, you’re not getting a storage provider – you’re gaining an extension of your trading desk. Our veterans speak your language, anticipate market shifts before they happen, and have the battle scars (and success stories) to prove it.
