Petroleum Oil, Ethanol, and Biodiesel Refineries Federal Appraisal provides business, real property, and personal property appraisals of petroleum, ethanol, and bio-diesel refineries throughout the world, for numerous purposes including investing, tax accounting, and investor reporting. FA appraisers have been accepted as expert witnesses concerning their refinery appraisals. Refinery appraisals are complex issues, often requiring a multi-discipline appraisal analysis. Merely establishing the proper legal, accounting, and engineering context for the appraisal is often complicated, but this is an exercise that the experts at Federal Appraisal can guide their clients through. Once appraisal contexts are established, the experts at FA will often work with legal, accounting, and engineering experts, as well as real/personal property and business appraisers to complete the appraisal.
