Testing & Analytical Services

Biofuels Testing

BEMCON arranges testing of biodiesel, fuel ethanol and relevant blends for producers, distributors and industrial users. Test programmes reflect the actual fuel type, blend level and specification rather than applying a universal checklist.

BUILT AROUND YOUR REQUIREMENT

Biofuels Testing with a clear purpose

Each engagement starts with the required outcome, operating context and evidence of success. The result is a focused Biofuels Testing scope with clear responsibilities and handover points.

Accredited laboratories

ISO/IEC 17025 accredited partner laboratories.

Sampling

Sampling plans and chain-of-custody from site to laboratory.

Standards-based methods

Testing to ISO, ASTM, EN, GSO and SASO methods.

Reports you can use

Certified reports with interpretation and next steps.

8 SPECIALIST CAPABILITIES

What the service can cover

Select the capabilities that match your Biofuels Testing requirement, operating context and agreed delivery stage.

01

Fuel Purity Testing

Assess specified purity characteristics of the submitted biofuel. Results support comparison with purchasing specifications and investigation of inconsistent supplies or suspected contamination.

02

Water-Content Testing

Measure water content using a method appropriate to the fuel. Findings support delivery assessment and investigation of changes associated with storage or handling.

03

Acidity Testing

Determine fuel acidity against the agreed specification. Results help identify batches requiring investigation, segregation or review of storage conditions.

04

Viscosity Testing

Measure viscosity where relevant to the biofuel and its application. Reports document test conditions and support comparison between supplied batches or approved specifications.

05

Sulphur-Content Testing

Coordinate sulphur measurement within the required analytical range. Findings provide a documented basis for supplier discussions and assessment against the agreed fuel specification.

06

Flash-Point Testing

Arrange flash-point testing where applicable to the fuel type. Results are reported against defined requirements to support quality review and handling-related assessments.

07

Oxidation-Stability Testing

Evaluate oxidation stability where relevant to the selected biofuel. Findings support batch comparisons and investigation of deterioration during storage or distribution.

08

Batch Consistency & Storage Investigations

Compare selected properties across deliveries, retained samples or stored stocks. The investigation identifies measurable changes and priorities for reviewing supply or storage arrangements.

HOW WE WORK

From test question to usable findings

A defined workflow keeps the work aligned with the approved scope and makes progress, decisions and handover easier to manage.

Scope your requirement
  1. 01

    Define the requirement

    Confirm the sample or product, applicable specification and decision the testing must support.

  2. 02

    Build the test programme

    Agree specimens, operating conditions, measurements, methods and acceptance criteria before work begins.

  3. 03

    Coordinate testing

    Manage the assignment with an appropriate specialist partner laboratory and keep the agreed scope visible.

  4. 04

    Report and decide

    Present measured results, observed changes, deviations, limitations and priorities for any further investigation.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Evidence designed for the next decision

Agreed test programme

Defined samples, methods, reporting expectations and assessment criteria before testing starts.

Coordinated specialist testing

Testing coordinated with partner laboratories selected for the required analytical methods.

Clear technical findings

Documented results, observations, deviations and limitations for the scope actually completed.

Practical next steps

Priorities for review, corrective action, further analysis or specialist investigation where needed.
