Refinery Questionnaire   / API Form

 

Name:        _______________________________                     Phone: __________________________________

                          (Buyer and person filling out form)

Company name: ___________________________                      Fax:  ___________________________________

 

Address: _________________________________                     E-mail address: ___________________________

 

Web Site: ________________________________

 

Information outlined below is needed to insure the refinery(s) for sale or to be built can make all the products the buyer is in need of, and what other components would be required. 

 

Need API of crude supply for production capability, and percentage of product output that can be made.

 

1. Specific Gravity or API: ______________________            if specific Gravity or API is not known, 40.8 API will be                                                                          assumed.

 

2. Weight percent of sulphur in the Crude: __________  If Sulphur content is not known, a Sulphur content of

                                                                                    less than 0.5 by weight will be assumed and special alloy

                                                                                    will not be used.

 

3. Amount of Salt in the Crude: __________________ If the Salt content is not known, a salt content of less

                                                                                    than 14.4 mg/litre will be assumed and a desalter will not

                                                                                    be included.

 

4. T8P or ASTM distillation for the Crude: _________   If distillation data is not known, but the Crude Specific

                                                                                    Gravity is known, we will assume an average distillation

    __________________________________________        for the specific gravity given. If the specific gravity is

                                                                                    Not given, we will use data for West Texas Intermediate

                                                                                    Crude.

 

 

 

 

 

5. Temperature of the Crude feed: ________________ If the temperature of the crude feed is not known, an

                                                                                    Average temperature of 70F (21C) will be assumed.

 

6. Net Positive Static Head (NPSH): ______________ The Crude Feed tanks should be located within 500 feet of

                                                                                    the processing plant and at least 5 feet of Net Positive Static

                                                                                    Head available. If this is not so, the crude feed pumps will

Have to be mounted on a special skid at an extra cost, and 

located at the product tanks.

 

7. Capacity of the plant in metric tons

per year and barrels per day:            _______________         Present Plan ________ BPD Future Plan ______­___BPD

                                                                                

                                                                                 Metric Tons per day________    Per Year________
