On-Site Testing in Napier, New Zealand- April 2004
Texas OilTech Laboratories’ lab director Phil Sorurbakhsh and staff chemist Roland Gore performed on-site testing on diesel fuels for the Pratt-Whitney Power Systems in Napier, New Zealand. The Texas OilTech team set up a mobile laboratory that provided test analysis data to Pratt-Whitney test personnel in a timely fashion, thus greatly reducing the length of the performance test cycle. Using state-of-the-art instrumentation, TOL was able to reduce the time of sampling to analysis from the normal two to three weeks to a matter of hours. Thus, not only was the long-wait period eliminated from the time of sampling to the time when the analysis results were received, but Texas OilTech Laboratories also managed to create high-rate of efficiency among all performance participants.
