Oil refinery/processing byproducts inspection is a process of quality control of goods at different stages of logistic chain, which minimizes major trade risks related to the likelihood of cargo delivered or received not according to agreed specification, not being supplied in agreed quantity or incomplete set of accompanying documents agreed between parties for oil refinery/processing byproducts export/import operations is issued and received.

CISS GROUP provides oil refinery/processing byproducts inspection services to large oil companies and international trading companies in intermediate storage facilities, factories or ports around the world.

The distinctiveness of oil refinery/processing byproducts inspection is due to complex multicomponent mixtures of substances that are heterogeneous in their chemical, component, phase composition and physicochemical (physicomechanical) properties. Each unit of transport container with petroleum byproducts must be marked with a stencil or stamp indelible with water and petroleum products. If the indicated inscription cannot be made on the transport container with petroleum byproducts, then a label shall be attached to the container or a label with this inscription shall be glued, containing the name of the oil product and the date of its manufacture. Transport labels are applied to the shipping container, characterizing the transport hazard of the cargo. Each batch of bypetroleum products must be accompanied by a quality document.

Accredited inspectors and laboratory technicians from CISS GROUP carry out oil refinery/processing byproducts inspection at any point of the supply chain.

The main stages of oil refinery/processing byproducts inspection:

Incoming/outgoing oil refinery/processing byproducts inspection.

It is carried out during the delivery oil refinery/processing byproducts to storage tanks, ship / barge tanks, tank trucks, railway tank cars, elevators or port tanks, or during export from factories' warehouses. The CISS GROUP inspector will visually assess the condition of the premises for their suitability for cargo storage; will check the cargo itself so that it is not mixed with other cargo and free of foreign odors. If byproducts of oil refining are delivered in cardboard drums, cardboard boxes or paper bags, the inspector will inspect them for traces of soaking - and if agreed - will perform the random opening of the container for sampling purpose.

Acceptance of cleanliness containers / holds of vessels before loading oil refinery/processing byproducts.

This is a visual inspection of containers and empty holds for their cleanliness and suitability for oil refinery/processing byproducts transportation. The inspector carefully examines their internal surfaces, checks the integrity and condition of locks, hinges and other fasteners on the container doors, rubber seals for container doors and hold covers.

Visual control of the loading process and sampling of oil refinery/processing byproducts.

During loading, the inspector controls the loading of oil refining by-products, monitors the temperature regime, according to the cargo specification, fixes the gross / net weight during reloading; visual assessment of the quality of the cargo, takes samples in accordance with the sampling rules, forms composite samples.

At the end of the loading, the inspector will seal the loaded containers or holds. He enters all the data into reports to which the client gets direct access. Note that the CISS GROUP loading inspection and sampling can be carried out around the clock on 24/7 basis.

Laboratory analyzes of oil refinery/processing byproducts quality.

CISS Group check the quality of oil refinery/processing byproducts exclusively in accredited laboratories in accordance with the requirements of agreed per contract international standards. Usually for determination of oil refinery/processing byproducts quality the following standard parameters are used: fractional composition, density, viscosity, average boiling point of oil fractions, water content, flash point and ignition temperature, unsaturated compounds, group chemical composition of bitumen, etc.

Photo and video report.

The inspector records each stage of the inspection with photos and videos. All such data contain the date and time of recorded stage of inspection. At the end of the oil refinery/processing byproducts inspection, CISS GROUP provides a detailed photo report of all stages of control and inspection.

Certificates.

Based on the results of the oil refinery/processing byproducts inspection the final certificate or reports are issued. The client can check the authenticity of the documents using a unique QR code, which is the "key" to the CISS GROUP website, where pdf versions of certificates are stored. Our certificates are protected with a digital cryptographic signature, which also guarantees their reliability and security.

Digitally signed certificates are often required by banks to verify the integrity of trading process when financing trade operations in the form of a letter of credit.
