Refinery Quality Control App
Kissflow schedules product sampling, captures lab results, compares them against spec, escalates an out-of-spec result to the responsible quality lead, generates the certificate of analysis, and gates the batch release or hold decision, so a batch that's off spec is stopped before it moves toward the tank, not after.
Trusted by energy operators worldwide
A batch is off spec by one decimal point, and it does not stop moving toward the tank until somebody notices
A lab sheet gets filled out, a result gets logged, and the comparison against spec happens whenever someone has time to check it against the reference table, sometimes after the batch has already moved. A paper lab sheet can hold a number. It can't compare that number to spec the moment it's entered, or stop a release decision from happening before someone confirms the result actually cleared.
Kissflow runs refinery quality control as a governed app: sample scheduling against each product line's testing plan, lab result capture tied to the batch and unit, automatic comparison against spec the moment a result is entered, escalation of an out-of-spec result to the quality lead responsible for that product, certificate of analysis generation once a batch clears, and a release or hold gate that stops movement until quality confirms. Your LIMS or lab instrumentation stays the system of record for raw test data.
Quality managers configure sample schedules, spec ranges, and release approval routing in the visual builder. Every result, comparison, and release decision carries a timestamp, so an off-spec batch is caught the moment the number is entered, not discovered downstream.
What a paper lab sheet misses before a batch moves
Spec comparison happens manually
A result gets checked against the reference table whenever someone has time, not the moment it's entered.
Out-of-spec results don't escalate automatically
Whether the quality lead hears about a failed test depends on someone flagging it themselves.
Release decisions aren't gated
A batch can move toward the tank before its quality result has actually been confirmed.
Certificates of analysis are assembled by hand
Pulling together the result set for a certificate of analysis takes a manual compile from the lab sheet.
Six modules. Built to stop a batch before it moves off spec.
Every module ships with default forms, routing, and dashboards. Configure each one to your product testing plan in the visual builder.
Sample scheduling
Schedules required sampling by product line and unit, according to the testing plan.
Lab result capture
Captures test results tied to the batch and unit, ready for automatic spec comparison.
Spec comparison
Compares each captured result against its spec range the moment it's entered.
Out-of-spec escalation
Flags a result outside spec automatically and routes it to the responsible quality lead.
Certificate of analysis
Generates a certificate of analysis from the captured results once a batch clears its checks.
Batch release or hold decision
Gates batch movement on a documented release or hold decision tied to the quality result.
From request to system of record in four steps
Initiate
A sample is drawn according to the product line's testing schedule and assigned for lab analysis.
Conduct
The lab result is captured and compared against spec automatically the moment it lands.
Flag
An out-of-spec result raises a finding and routes to the responsible quality lead for review before any release decision.
Record
The batch is released or held, and a certificate of analysis is generated and stored for the record.
What changes when refinery quality control runs on Kissflow
| Process | Before Kissflow | On Kissflow |
|---|---|---|
| Spec comparison | Checked manually against a reference table | Compared automatically the moment a result is entered |
| Out-of-spec handling | Depends on someone flagging it themselves | Escalated automatically to the responsible quality lead |
| Batch release | Can move before quality confirms the result | Gated on a documented release or hold decision |
| Certificate of analysis | Assembled by hand from lab sheets | Generated automatically from captured results |
| Sample scheduling | Tracked on a separate calendar | Scheduled per product line's testing plan |
| Quality reporting | Compiled manually across units | Available on a rolled-up dashboard |
Connects alongside your LIMS and lab instrumentation
A LIMS or lab instrumentation stays the system of record for raw test data. Kissflow runs the spec comparison, escalation, and release gate around it.

Built to stop a batch before it moves off spec
Spec comparison at the moment of entry
A result is checked against spec the instant it's captured, not on a later manual review.
Out-of-spec results escalate automatically
A failed test reaches the quality lead without depending on someone remembering to flag it.
Release gated on a documented decision
A batch doesn't move until a release or hold decision is recorded against the result.
Live in weeks
Sample schedules and spec ranges configure in the visual builder, without a systems project.
Certificates generated automatically
A certificate of analysis is produced directly from the result set, not assembled by hand.
Access controlled by unit and product line
Role-based access scopes who can view or act on quality data by unit.

Get SupportNo. A LIMS or lab instrumentation stays the system of record for raw test results. Kissflow schedules sampling, captures results for workflow purposes, compares them against spec, and runs the out-of-spec escalation and release decision around them.
The moment a captured result falls outside its spec range, it's flagged automatically and routed to the quality lead responsible for that product or unit, instead of waiting for a manual review of the lab sheet.
Configurable by role, typically a quality manager or shift supervisor reviews the spec comparison and any open exception before releasing or holding a batch.
Yes. A certificate of analysis is generated from the captured results and spec comparison once a batch clears its quality checks.
This app is scoped specifically to refinery product quality: sample scheduling against a testing plan, lab result capture, spec and certificate-of-analysis comparison, and a release or hold gate, not a general facility walkthrough checklist.
Yes. Testing frequency and required tests are configurable per product line or processing unit.
Sample schedules, spec ranges, and release approval routing configure in the visual builder, without an engineering project.
Kissflow is certified to SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, and ISO/IEC 27001, with role-based access by unit and product line.
