Fuel Oil Analysis

Fuel Oil Analysis is a laboratory analysis process to determine the quality, characteristics, and composition of fuel oil used in various industries, such as power plants, shipping, and manufacturing.

Scope

Fuel testing aims to ensure product consistency, compliance with international regulations, and operational reliability throughout the energy supply chain:

  • Exploration & refining
  • Production & storage
  • Distribution & downstream use

This service includes testing of physico-chemical properties, contaminants, blending quality, and specific tests for biodiesel and low sulfur diesel (ULSD).

All test methods refer to international standards: ASTM, ISO, EN (BS EN 590), IP (Institute of Petroleum Methods), and UOP.
