Case Study — Automated Refinery DashboardDigital Assurance Hub / BQCIS |
This case study presents how BQCIS implemented an Automated Refinery Dashboard to integrate
custody transfer, laboratory testing, and safety compliance into one real-time platform.
Data flowed directly from meters, gauges, and laboratory systems into the
Digital Assurance Hub,
providing refinery managers and regulators with 24/7 visibility.
Challenge
A refinery in South America with 250k bbl/day capacity lacked centralized visibility.
Custody transfer data, lab results, and HSSE compliance records were dispersed across multiple paper logs
and local databases. Disputes with traders and regulators increased reporting delays by up to 30 days.
BQCIS Approach
- Deployed the Refinery Dashboard
for custody transfer and safety monitoring. - Integrated IoT meters, tank gauging systems, and laboratory LIMS with secure APIs.
- Applied real-time anomaly detection for BS&W, sulfur, and volume variance.
- Linked results with QR-secured certificates issued directly to counterparties.
Results
Benefits
The automated dashboard delivered tangible improvements for all stakeholders:
- Centralized Platform — Unified custody, lab, and safety data.
- Real-Time Alerts — Immediate flagging of off-spec conditions.
- Improved Trust — Transparent visibility for buyers, sellers, and regulators.
- Operational Efficiency — Faster clearance, reduced manual paperwork.
