OilProcessingHub — Rapeseed / canola representative trial and acceptance draft Reviewed: 2026-11-03 STATUS: BLANK PLANNING TEMPLATE — NOT A TEST RESULT OR ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATE Editorial trial-planning and deliverable checklist; not a completed trial, manufacturer-issued acceptance standard, legal product limit or signed customer report. Only public publisher scopes are summarized. The laboratory must select the applicable full method/edition, actual matrix, calibration and reporting limits. Revision drafts are not treated as published replacements. All sample quantities, settings, run duration/repeats, performance limits, decision rules, responsibilities and signatures remain blank for buyer, supplier and laboratory agreement. PROJECT AND APPROVAL Project / site / buyer / supplier / legal manufacturer: ____________________ Equipment models / serials / revisions / software: ____________________ Oil / cake / meal destination and specification: ____________________ Selected process boundary and exclusions: ____________________ Trial provider / laboratory / witness and decision authority: ____________________ Lot / sample IDs / sampling plan / retained-split locations: ____________________ Actual sample quantity / operating conditions / stabilization / measured duration / repeats: ____________________ Agreed acceptance matrix reference / version / date: ____________________ ROUTE FOCUS Confirm seed identity and compare full pressing with pre-press/extraction on a consistent basis. FEED AND SAMPLING - Identify the actual rapeseed/canola variety and lot, storage history, moisture, fines and intended oil/meal markets; mustard references are not substituted. - Agree any chlorophyll, fatty-acid profile and meal analyses needed for the actual product; identify the laboratory method and reporting basis. PLANNED COMPARISONS - Compare full-press and pre-press/cake-extraction proposals only with the same defined feed, operating hours and output specifications. - Record conditioning, press setup/cooling, oil and cake/meal temperatures, feed/output quantities and utility use. - Where refining or pigment treatment is proposed, use the actual crude oil and document before/after analyses and oil losses with the treatment boundary. OUTPUTS TO RETAIN - Feed/oil/cake or meal balance and residual-oil reports with matching analytical and moisture bases. - Agreed oil-quality, chlorophyll/fatty-acid or meal reports as applicable, raw process logs and a production scale-up review. SELECTION DECISION Do not transfer a mustard claim or one historical canola setup to a different crop lot, press or product specification. COMMON TRIAL RECORDS T01 — Define the trial boundary and feed lot Record seed variety, origin/lot, storage history, intended oil and cake/meal markets, raw versus prepared-feed basis, proposed route and equipment revision. Agree quantities and sampling with the test provider; do not assume a universal sample mass. Record: Approved scope, lot passport, sample plan and chain of custody. T02 — Establish laboratory baselines Identify representative laboratory samples and retained splits. Record moisture/volatile matter, analytical extractable oil and the route-specific analyses below, with method edition, units, moisture basis, laboratory and uncertainty/reporting limits. Record: Sample register and feed certificates linked to the exact lot. T03 — Agree a controlled comparison Choose a baseline setup and limited comparisons within the supplier-approved operating envelope. Record preparation, conditioning, screw/cage or extractor arrangement, speed, feed rate and heating/cooling. Change planned factors deliberately; do not copy another seed's recipe. Record: Run matrix, configuration photographs/drawings and agreed operating ranges. T04 — Separate stabilization from the measured run Agree stabilization criteria, observation window and repeat runs where feasible. Log actual feed input, operating time, temperatures, drive load and utility use. Separate startup/shutdown material and downtime from the steady-run figures. Record: Timestamped raw logs, calibration references, deviations and repeatability observations. T05 — Reconcile outputs and analyse matched samples Link oil, cake/meal, hulls, fines, water and inventory changes to the same measured period and stated balance boundary. Analyse matched output samples. Distinguish total mass imbalance, analytical residual oil and recovered product oil; do not call every unaccounted kilogram oil loss. Record: Mass and oil-balance workbook, retained samples and laboratory reports. T06 — Review scale-up and define the next gate Report the selected setup, result ranges, excluded conditions, utility assumptions and remaining uncertainty. Link the pilot configuration to the proposed production equipment. A representative trial supports selection; it does not itself release a commercial plant. Record: Signed trial review, production-scope proposal and agreed FAT/SAT plan.
