In the energy sector, quality and accuracy are critical. For businesses dealing with crude oil, refined fuels, or petrochemical products, even minor discrepancies in product quality can lead to significant financial losses, regulatory penalties, or damage to reputation. That’s why independent hydrocarbon testing is not just beneficial—it’s essential.
What Is Hydrocarbon Testing?
Hydrocarbon testing involves analyzing fuels and petroleum products to determine their chemical composition, physical properties, and overall quality. This includes tests like flash point analysis, distillation, octane/cetane rating, and more.
