BQCIS — Refiners
|
Refiners manage complex operations where every feedstock, process stream, and output must meet strict specifications.
Disruptions can cause significant financial losses, regulatory non-compliance, and safety risks.
BQCIS provides refiners with independent inspection, sampling, and testing services that ensure accuracy, transparency, and safe delivery of products to market.
Feedstock Verification
- Crude assay analysis for sulfur, API gravity, BS&W, and contaminants.
- Petrochemical feedstocks verified for purity and inhibitor presence.
- Independent custody checks on incoming crude and process additives.
Throughput Monitoring
- Line and tank reconciliations to reduce unexplained losses.
- Unit-by-unit stream monitoring for yield optimization.
- Refinery mass balance validation supported by QR-secure records.
Output Quality Assurance
- Independent testing of jet fuel, gasoline, diesel, and marine fuels.
- Compliance with IMO standards for low-sulfur fuels.
- Lab reports accepted by customs, regulators, and ICC trade finance.
Case Study: Jet Fuel Export Quality Assurance
A European refinery faced recurring disputes with Asian buyers over jet fuel shipments.
BQCIS implemented independent batch sampling, flash point verification, and sulfur content checks under ISO/ASTM standards.
Results were issued with QR-secure certificates, eliminating disputes and accelerating customs release.
