Pipeline Transmix Testing Services
Pipeline transmix product testing.
Intertek labs test pipeline transmix interfaces and related pipeline products for contamination and quality assessments. The transmix testing labs provide measurements as required for sulfur content and molecular species, octane, cetane and other tests as required. Pipeline testing includes trace level compound analysis and identification of unknown materials, percipitation and contamination found in the transmix or the pipeline such as films, coatings, precipitates and more.
Intertek field personnel obtain samples of the transmix and related pipeline products in the field and deliver them to the Intertek laboratory for prompt testing, depending upon location and urgency. Samples can also be quickly shipped by the client to one of Intertek's global petroleum laboratories.
Various petroleum refined products can be subject to co-mingling during shipment in a multi-product pipeline. Transmix often occurs at the beginning and end of a product shipment since it is shipped in sequence with other products in order to keep the pipeline full and flowing. Products subject to potential transmix co-mingling include gasoline, diesel and aviation-gasoline, home heating oil, biofuels and other pipeline fuels. Intertek helps pipeline customers measure and determine the nature and amount of transmixed products in the pipeline system.
