Better chemistry.
Built on research.
Application-focused testing for fuel additives and refinery chemicals.
Discuss your application
Turning complex refinery challenges
into practical solutions.
We work with independent European laboratories to evaluate INTRON® additives for crude oil, gasoline and diesel. Our research connects recognised test methods with the requirements of your application.
Fuel performance
We assess ignition quality, octane number, lubricity and cold-flow behaviour to understand how additives perform in your base fuel.
Crude oil testing
Our upstream testing covers water and sediment, corrosivity and other relevant properties to support the selection of INTRON® treatments.
Product compatibility
Application-specific evaluation helps determine a suitable product and treat rate, with compatibility and no-harm requirements considered in the testing scope.
From your challenge to a testing plan.
We work with your technical team to understand the application, define relevant tests and review the results with our research partners.
- 1
Define
Discuss your base fuel, operating conditions and target parameters.
- 2
Test
Evaluate selected additives and treat rates using agreed methods.
- 3
Evaluate
Review the evidence and agree the next steps for your application.
