Why Analyze Fuel?

The analysis of fuel and related petroleum products is essential for the safe, compliant, and profitable operation of upstream and midstream petroleum industry operations, including refineries, pipelines, and storage terminals. Testing is also used to ensure materials are fit for their intended purpose.

Regardless of whether the testing is for quality control or regulatory reporting, there are a range of industry methods and techniques utilized to characterize petroleum products, including XRF, ICP, and gas chromatography.
