Questions to settle before a quotation

  • Which refining step, feed analysis and separated phases define the duty?
  • Which model supports the accepted oil rate and separation criteria?
  • What cleaning, solids discharge and transfer interfaces are included?

Ask bidders to state trial material, accepted output, losses, utilities, changeover time and scope exclusions in writing. Compare the offered configuration using the same recipe and acceptance criteria.

Common questions

What remains outside this duty?

Do not assign every family duty to every model or configuration. A separator alone is not a complete refinery.

Are throughput figures directly comparable?

Compare the same material, time basis and accepted output. Seed feed, crude oil, separated phases and refined oil are different measurements.
