The refining handoff starts at crude-oil discharge
Rapeseed and canola inquiries often move from pressing into refining. The page should define what leaves the press and what the refining section expects.
Plan crude rapeseed oil settling, filtration, acid value risk, phospholipid control, tank sequence, refining feed, and bulk transfer after pressing.
Crude quality
Acid value, sediment, odor, and moisture affect refining load.
Tank sequence
Crude, settled, filtered, and refining-feed tanks need separate names.
Transfer
Pump, pipe, and heating choices decide whether refining receives stable feed.
Oil handoffCrude-oil tanks before refining
Use this page when the project does not stop at pressing.
Define refining feed before promising a complete line
- State whether oil is hot-pressed flavor oil, crude canola oil, or filtered oil.
- Confirm whether degumming, deacidification, bleaching, deodorization, or only filtration is expected.
- Reserve tank volume for seasonal rapeseed runs.
Refining handoff needs crude-oil samples, tanks, and residue language
- Collect oil at press discharge, after settling, after coarse filtration, and before refinery feed if the site already has those stages.
- Name acid value, sediment, moisture, phospholipid expectation, tank temperature, sludge outlet, pump route, and whether refining is on site.
- This page should not promise edible bottled oil until the refining endpoint, testing responsibility, and storage hygiene are known.
Choose crude sale, outside refining, on-site refining, or retail oil
- Each endpoint changes tank count, filter depth, pump hygiene, documents, sampling, and whether filling belongs in this phase.
Name the tank that becomes the refinery feed tank
- If the same tank receives hot crude, settles sediment, feeds filtration, and sends oil to refining, sampling becomes unclear. Separate tank names and pump routes make the refining handoff auditable.
Do not mix crude-oil sale, refinery feed, and edible-oil promise
- The final quote should state the exact handoff point: crude loading pump, filtered crude tank, refinery-feed tank, refined-oil tank, or filling-ready storage.
Keep one retained sample from each handoff tank
- This makes crude quality, settling result, refinery-feed responsibility, retained-sample comparison, pump route changes, sludge discharge, tank cleaning, and later customer complaints easier to trace after installation.
