ASSUMPTIONS
Following initial meetings the following assumptions have been made. These shall be
confirmed by Vivergo prior to proceeding.
Multi-pot road tankers will receive the same specification product for all pots on a
single order.
In the initial phase of implementation it will only be physically possible, due to
loading arm position, to load multi-pot vehicles on Gantry 1. It is assumed that no
special software will be implemented in TMS to enforce this but rather it will
become evident through experience and communicated through driver training /
inductions.
There will be no volume constraints on a pot batch size. This is in order to
accommodate single and multi-pot trucks. Note : This is a significant deviation
from the present single pot only loading and consideration should be given to pot
overloading at HAZOP.
Additive quantities injected will be recorded and communicated through the
system to the same specification as ethanol and denaturant. Any HMRC duty
calculation requirements have been excluded from this URS, however the
following changes may need consideration by others.
o
Use of gasoline as a denaturant. Presumably duty already paid at
dispatching depot prior to receipt at Vivergo.
o
Use of additives, although only in small ppm quantities, this is likely to be
several litres over a full road tanker load
A single load can only require a maximum of a single additive.
There will be no provision for ‘back loading’ e.g. a gasoline denaturant delivery
will not be followed by a back ordered ethanol collection. In this instance the road
tanker would be required to leave site following the gasoline delivery and then re-
enter site for the ethanol collection.
Bio-ethanol loading to trucks at the loading gantries will under normal conditions
require the driver only. Vivergo operations personnel will not be involved with a
normal successful truck loading operation.
Latest versions of environment software will be utilised e.g. Accuload firmware
will be updated to latest version. Other suppliers to advise implications of this
