| An update was provided to CAPP regarding new information on changes to percentages of phosphorus found to volatile in 2006, as well as impacts of method detection limits. | | Further to CAPP's initiative to reduce volatile phosphorus in crude, the CCQTA Project group has prepared a document which includes:
a description of the phosphorus problem,
some historical data on phosphorus measurement in crude,
a list of alternative solutions,
and proposed targets, testing and monitoring program. | | Also available for download is the analytical method for volatile phosphorus in crude oil. | | History of the Phosphorus Problem | Also available is a historical document detailing the original findings on the topic. | | The following presentation on the history and status of the phosphorus problem was made in June 2007. | |
