Our laboratory makes control tests on the provisions of fueloil, IFO´s, MDO,MGO to ships by means of tanks or barges, controlling all the parameters can affect the engine efficiency, following specifications of British Standard ISO 8217.

In addition, practiced analyses results present added value going of commentaries and suggestions for the resolution of possible problems, thus, we to each other related parameters like asphaltenes and the carbonaceus residue, or Vanadium with Sodium content.

Analysis are made in fuels:
