Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Dec 18, 2007

New laboratory will provide important quality testing and inspection services to customers at Asia's largest commercial oil storage facility.

Intertek has opened a new petroleum laboratory inside the Universal Terminal on Jurong Island.

Universal Terminal is Asia's largest commercial oil storage facility and is co-owned by Singapore Oil Trading Firm, Hin Leong and PetroChina.

The new Intertek laboratory provides important quality testing and inspection services to customers of the large storage complex, complementing the extensive expertise and laboratory testing capabilities provided by the nearby Intertek Singapore Technical Centre laboratory.

Marc Hoffer, President for Intertek Oil, Chemical and Agri in Asia Pacific, says: "Singapore is a key petroleum hub for the region".

"Our new facility at Universal Terminal is a strategic investment for Intertek, increasing support available to key petroleum clients and supporting their business needs across the region".

Occupying 750m2, the new Intertek Universal Laboratory provides comprehensive laboratory testing services to support Universal Terminal tenant needs as well as Intertek regional customers.

Intertek is the only third-party independent laboratory in the terminal.

Intertek provides support services such as fuel quantity and quality inspection, petroleum testing, bunker fuel testing to ISO8217, bunker fuel quantity surveying, inline automatic sampling, along with fuel oil and gasoline blending.

Additional services include fuel and logistical consultancy, marine services, and storage tank calibration.

The new laboratory operates on a 24/7 basis and operates with a new state-of-the-art information management system (LIMS).

Singapore customers also benefit from Intertek's fast on-site sample-pick-up system, FastLab.

It is expected that the new laboratory will be ISO17025 accredited by 2008.
