Independent Oil, Fuel and Machine Condition Monitoring Service
STAR Fuel Analysis
Our chemists have decades of experience in supporting industry to solve their analytical fuel analysis needs. Our fuel analysis service can be used to:
- Check that fuel is fit for purpose.
- Check condition of stored fuel before use.
- Assist in investigation of fuel related failure.
- Determine cause of fuel filter blockage.
- Check for contamination of wrong fuel types, e.g. petrol% in diesel, etc.
- Check fuel is fit for use in cold climates.
- Check for red diesel.
- Specific and ad hoc testing.
- Testing to international standards
AdBlue Analysis
An interesting development in engine manufacture in recent years is SCR (selective catalytic reduction), this process is used on some of the newer generation of diesel engines to reduce NOx emissions to met legal requirements.
The process works by injecting a urea solution in the exhaust stream gases and chemically changing NOx into harmless gases. However, the urea solution often called AdBlue must be in good condition and we have developed a test suite for checking that AdBlue is within specification and free from contamination.
