Advanced Fuel Oil Screening Technology - Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) Testing - for early detection of contaminants & root cause analysis
Throughout the years, the Maritime industry has faced the ongoing challenge of bunker contamination. Given the intricate nature of the bunker supply chain, a diverse array of chemicals, materials, and contaminants from multiple sources can infiltrate the marine fuel supply chain. Consequently, the crucial need to closely monitor fuel quality persists as a vital requirement to protect vessel health.
We highly advise conducting routine, cost-efficient, and rapid Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) Screening Tests for all Residual bunker fuel samples. Our GC-MS Screening Tests qualitatively detect 16 chemical compounds that are frequently present in marine bunker fuel. These compounds encompass four distinct categories – Chlorinated Organic Compounds (COCs), Phenol, Alcohol, and Reactive Hydrocarbons.
In addition, our expertly tailored & designed Enhanced Analysis packages, offer Quantitative 16 to 62 Compounds testing using latest ASTM D7845, Headspace, Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) and Direct Liquid Injection (DLI) techniques, enabling our customers to identify the root cause with unmatched precision for genuinely effective intervention.
