How large of batches of crude or distillate are you producers making before you perform a COA. I would assume that any batch that is collected before it is broken up into smaller containers could essentially only need one COA.
For example. If I have a 250 gallon tote of crude, would only one COA be needed before I break it up into whatever sizes my clients need.
I guess I’m asking what the industry standard is on COA’s. I would never collect a liter on its own, test it and assume the rest of the stuff coming out from my machines would have the same. Even if it was from the same batch of biomass processed the same day. We are wrinting our tracking SOP’s.
I will have to look at our state. Did not know some states controlled that but its good to know there are standards forming out there. For the volume we are looking at that will be a lot of 55 gal drums.
While I have you looking would you looking is it better for storage to add nitrogen or pull vacuum on the drum or tote.
Lets say I have 55 gal drum of crude waiting to be shipped. Would it be best to fill the excess space with a nitrogen blanket or pull all the air out. Since we have both capabilities at the facility I always want to make sure the product is protected from any type of spoilage or potential to spoil. I’m just OCD about protecting the product even if customer is taking possession next week. Protocols for everything.
