Downstream

Extensive infrastructure, high-tech automated equipment, established techniques, and highly trained personnel.

We carry out testing in the petroleum sector across production, refining, gas, petrochemical, biotechnology, and environmental activities. We specialise in assay tests to characterise the structural, compositional, physicochemical, and surface properties of materials as diverse as crude oil, petroleum feedstocks and refined products, chemicals, catalysts, metal components, wastewater, ionic liquids, polymers, clays, dolomites, carbonates, fossils, and diamondoids, among others.
In addition, we conduct sampling tests for natural gas and liquefied gas for subsequent analysis of associated gases. Moisture analysis of gases is also performed on-site through dew point determination.
