Abstract

All stakeholders in the propane industry have a common interest in maintaining propane quality. There are many quality assurance practices that are required or voluntarily followed by those that have custody of propane as it moves through the supply chain. Propane quality can reach unacceptable levels if product control practices are not constantly monitored.

The objective of this document is to increase awareness of maintaining fuel quality for propane that is delivered as an odorized product. Maintaining fuel quality involves more than producing propane with the proper composition. Rather, all entities that have custody of propane throughout the supply chain need to follow good practices that will ensure that high quality propane is delivered to the final customer.
