The technical issues involved in the supply of fuels to
customers are covered by the EI’s Distribution & Marketing
Committee (DMC). It is comprised of senior technical
managers from the major oil companies, and technical
representatives from the Federation of Petroleum Suppliers
(FPS), the Association of UK Oil Independents (AUKOI)
and the Tank Storage Association (TSA). It is responsible
for undertaking cost-effective scientific and technical work,
particularly covering equipment used and procedures
followed, in the following areas:
• primary distribution from refineries to terminals, eg
by pipeline, ship
• bulk storage
• product loading
• transport of product by road
• transport of product by rail
• delivery procedures
• service stations
• vapour collection and recovery
Technical work is divided between the main Committee,
the Road Tanker Panel and the Service Station Panel. The
main output is in the form of IP publications which provide
guidance to assist the industry in the promotion of good
operating practices and the standardisation of equipment.
In addition the experts also provide technical input to
Government and other organisations on issues affecting
distribution and marketing activities.
