        ACCIDENTAL AND UNEXPECTED CONTAMINATION

The specialized biodiesel testing required by most standard methods is limited by the range of applicability as defined in the test method.  Once outside this range the test methods can fail to deliver accurate results.  So, modifications of existing methods or new methods altogether are frequently needed to define the variability of unpolished or poorly purified B100 status, mass balance determinations, and impurities in blends.   Moreover, current ASTM methods are often inappropriate for impurity detection and measurement, such as is the case for contaminants that aggravate fuel filter blockage conditions. 

Subscribe to our routine quality testing services or filter analysis packages and your $$$ will contribute to our on-going INDEPENDENT, collaborative  research efforts to improve the processing and quality of biodiesel !

We use a host of chromatography and spectroscopy tools including GC/MS and HPLC to provide the certainty you need to define your process/product stream impurities and unparalleled diagnostics.   

 

PROCESS DEVELOPMENT AND TROUBLESHOOTING SERVICES

Consider using our unique experiences with the biodiesel specification and analysis method standardization process, laboratory technology, IN-PLANT biodiesel processing and troubleshooting experience, wastewater treatment, waste disposal,  and insightful perspectives  to assist you in creating quality biodiesel !  Contract (Contact Us) our analytical engineering consulting capability.
