Import Tips

Provide refinery process flow diagrams and composition analysis showing butylene predominance post-BD extraction

Declare Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) values as they impact fuel blending regulations and classification

Avoid bulk import without terminal allocation; pre-arrange cryogenic storage with certified facilities
