Crude Assay Manager

Structured crude assay database with TBP distillation, bulk properties, and fraction yield mapping to product blending pools. Powers LP Planner and Financial Analyzer.

Module 13 · Overview

Crude Assay Manager

Crude Assay Manager is the system of record for crude economics. Every Refinium module that touches crude — LP Crude Planner, Financial Analyzer, Production Accounting, Fouling Tracker — pulls from this database. Structured assays with TBP distillation, bulk properties (API, sulfur, viscosity, TAN, metals), and fraction yield mapping to product blending pools.

Why It Wins

Every module that touches crude needs assay data. A clean, structured assay manager becomes the data backbone of the whole platform. Refineries pay for crude intelligence — this makes Refinium AI the system of record for crude economics.

Use Cases

Crude Assay Manager in Action

Scenario
Onboarding a new opportunity crude
A trader sends a vendor assay file. Crude Assay Manager imports it, runs the validation checks, predicts the blend properties with the existing slate, and makes the data available to LP Planner and Financial Analyzer in minutes.
Scenario
Crude library audit
The planning team needs to refresh the top 30 crudes. The library shows last-update dates, source, and data completeness. Stale or incomplete assays are flagged for refresh.
Scenario
Compatibility check before blending
Before committing to a 4-crude blend, the compatibility checker flags asphaltene precipitation risk between two of the crudes. The blend recipe is adjusted before fouling becomes a problem.
