Sustainable mobility with Test and Reference Fuels 

Sustainable mobility goes far beyond the more efficient use of means of transport. It includes important climate protection criteria. Thus, sustainable mobility means a reduction of emissions, but also a lower consumption of resources. The development and testing of modern engines requires standardised Test and Reference fuels. They help to comply with emission limits in the further development of materials and lubricants in the automotive industry, but also in the construction of power tools for gardening and forestry.

Laboratories

Our laboratories, directly on site, offer our business partners multiple services. Because in addition to quality testing, we research and develop - sustainable products, new developments or customised formulations.

 

Laboratory for quality assurance

For our customers in the automotive and engine industry, certified products are the be-all and end-all. Quality testing therefore requires 

  • extensive testing and analysis facilities
  • modern laboratory equipment
  • individual quality parameters and
  • highly qualified employees

 

 

chemist-in-lab_iStock-513380012_1100x620px_200917

With this comprehensive on-site service, we have obtained the important accreditation according to ISO/IEC 17025.

Set up in this way, we can carry out particularly fast and comprehensive quality testing and provide our customers with consistently high quality standards and the quality certificates that are crucial for the automotive industry. 

We offer: 

  • Density measurement, 
  • Flash and aniline point, 
  • Cold flow behavior (e.g. pour point, CFPP), 
  • Distillation profiles,
  • Vapor pressure, 
  • Tests for oxygenated molecules such as ketones.
  • Individual quality parameters possible. 

 

 

Laboratory for Research & Development

In addition to quality assurance, our laboratories conduct research and development programms on future products or customised formulations together with customers.

As a member of the CEC Reference Fuel Development Committee, we understand the needs, trends and regulations of the engine industry.

Neuer Call-to-Action

Did you know….that our site in Hamburg is the cradle of one of our founding fathers?

1898: Johann Haltermann founded a company in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg, Germany, that refined raw tar from the Hamburg gas works. 

1920s: Haltermann developed a benzene-based fuel for gasoline engines, which was marketed under the brand name "Ergin".

1950s: Production of mothballs made from naphthalene.

1960s: High-purity, certified reference fuels (n-heptane + i-octane) were produced with a new distillation unit. 

1970: A distillation pilot plant was commissioned to allow pilot testing of custom distillation processes.

1990s: The plant was eventually converted into a blending and storage facility for the production and supply of specialty hydrocarbon liquids, petrochemical solvents, and test and reference fuels.
