IMPCA Methanol Sampling Methods
International Methanol Producers & Consumers Association
Published in October 2104, this document is a proposal for specifications for ‘Standardisation of Methanol Sampling Methods’ or an ‘IMPCA Inspection Manual’ for use during surveying operations, with the intention that these sampling procedures shall contribute to more efficient logistical operations in the movement of methanol from the producer to the end user.
The document contains sampling procedures for loading, discharging and transhipment along with recommendations on the bottles to be used, labelling etc, visual tank inspections and the choice of correct solvent for wall-wash procedures.
