Our work is essential to ensure that every load transported, stored, or traded complies with the sector’s technical and regulatory requirements.

Tests and Parameters Performed in Our Laboratory

At ConsulTerra, we carry out comprehensive analyses to ensure the quality and safety of fuels and derivatives. The main tests include:

Appearance and Color

Checks clarity and color, identifying possible contamination.

Copper Corrosion

Evaluates the corrosive potential on metals.

Total Acid Number (TAN)

Measures acidity to protect systems.

Flash Point

Indicates the minimum temperature at which flammable vapors are released.

Sediments and Residues:

Detects solid impurities in the product.

API Index and RVP

Classifies the type and behavior of the product.

Distillation

Measures the evaporation temperatures of the components.

Density and Viscosity

Measures density and viscosity to ensure uniformity and quality.

Electrical Conductivity

Controls accumulated static electricity.

Sulfur and Water Content

Monitors sulfur and water levels to prevent corrosion and failures.

What We Do in the ConsulTerra Laboratory

In the ConsulTerra laboratory, we perform specialized analyses to ensure the quality, safety, and compliance of petroleum products and derivatives. Our work is crucial to guarantee that every load transported, stored, or traded meets the sector’s technical and regulatory standards.

Our Main Activities

Physico-Chemical Analyses

We measure properties such as density, viscosity, sulfur content, flash point, acidity, and other parameters. These tests indicate the quality and essential characteristics of the product.

Quality and Stability Tests

We test the product’s resistance to temperature variations, oxidation, and prolonged storage. We evaluate the corrosiveness and stability of fuels and oils.

Composition and Contaminant Analyses

We identify contaminants and determine the exact composition of the product using techniques such as chromatography and spectrometry. This ensures the absence of impurities or adulteration.

Sampling and Certification

We perform representative sampling of loads and tanks. We issue certified reports validating the quality and compliance of the products with national and international standards.

Why This Work Is Important?

Laboratory results are decisive for:

  • Approving or rejecting products for loading, unloading, or storage operations.
  • Preventing losses caused by out-of-spec products.
  • Ensuring operational safety and protecting the environment.
  • Maintaining credibility with clients, partners, and regulatory authorities.
