Data Reconciliation Engine

Gross error detection and mass/energy balance reconciliation across plant meters and analyzers. Identifies suspect instruments and reconciles measured flows.

Module 06 · Overview

Data Reconciliation Engine

Data Reconciliation Engine is the data-quality foundation for every other Refinium module. It detects gross errors, reconciles mass and energy balances across plant meters, and identifies suspect instruments — preventing the bad data that costs refineries millions in margin give-away. If the inputs to LP, Yield Accounting, or Margin Analysis are wrong, every downstream answer is wrong. This module makes the data right.

Why It Wins

Bad data costs refineries millions in margin give-away. No affordable standalone reconciliation tool exists for mid-size refineries. This is the foundational layer for every other module — if data is wrong, nothing else works.

Use Cases

Data Reconciliation Engine in Action

Scenario
Monthly mass balance closure
Production accounting needs the mass balance to close before month-end. Data Reconciliation runs the full plant balance, identifies the two suspect meters causing the imbalance, and produces a reconciled set of flows ready for fiscal reporting.
Scenario
LP coefficient calibration
Before recalibrating the LP yields, run Data Reconciliation across the last 30 days. The LP now has clean, balanced data instead of raw DCS values — yield coefficients are honest.
Scenario
Custody transfer dispute
A truck shipment shows a 0.4% discrepancy with the receiving terminal. Data Reconciliation runs the validation against the meter history, identifies the bias, and produces a reconciled value with documented confidence interval.
