Transmix: Turning Byproducts into Value

Ikon Midstream specializes in converting Transmix—the mixture of gasoline, diesel, and other fuels collected during pipeline and terminal transitions—into high-quality, usable fuel. By reclaiming and reprocessing these byproducts, Ikon turns waste into opportunity while supporting fuel efficiency and sustainability goals.

What Is Transmix?

Transmix is a byproduct generated when different fuel products are transported through shared pipelines or handled through common infrastructure. It contains a mix of hydrocarbons that, without processing, is unusable in engines or regulatory-compliant applications.

• Source: Created during changeovers between gasoline and diesel batches.
• Composition: A mix of two or more fuel types with altered performance and emissions profiles.
• Challenge: Requires precise reprocessing and separation before resale or use.

Ikon’s Processing and Blending Expertise

Ikon uses advanced analytical and blending methods to reclaim the value in Transmix, converting it into compliant and reliable fuel products:

• Separation and Refining: Transmix is carefully separated and analyzed to isolate base components.
• Fuel Reclassification: The recovered fuel streams are blended into new diesel or gasoline batches, tested to meet ASTM specs.
• Additive Enhancement: Proprietary additives improve performance, emissions, and storage stability.

“Transmix recovery is sustainability in action. We’re reclaiming usable fuel while reducing waste in the supply chain.”
