Petrochemical Testing

Petrochemicals are an essential building block of modern life and the trade in these commodities is now both truly global and immensely complex.

Commodities are moving around the world in volumes and between destinations that were unimaginable only a few years ago.

Quality control of petrochemicals is essential for producers, traders and distributors. At SGS, we carry out full specification testing to international, national, trade or company-specific standards for petrochemicals.

Our Petrochemical Testing Services

Our laboratory network provides a full range of testing, including the routine determination of purity by GC, HPLC, and, where necessary the more advances GC-MS techniques. We also provide the more traditional determinations of basic physical parameters such as distillation, density, acidity and color. Our global network of laboratories exists to supply good quality risk management facilities to all interested stakeholders. .
 
We provide analysis for all petrochemicals on demand. Our labs analyze petrochemical samples from:

  • Refineries
  • Storage facilities
  • Storage tanks
  • Small-scale storage, such as drums and ISO tanks
