Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing

• TestAmerica prepared and deployed a mobile lab facility to support the excavation and removal of a retired pipeline in Dutch Harbor. The mobile laboratory obtained full certification by Alaska DEC. This project called for the analysis of hundreds of environmental samples under 24 hour turnaround conditions. Results were provided on time routinely following project specific requirements for electronic data transfer.

• TestAmerica has conducted an ambient air monitoring program to a consortium of petrochemical refineries in the Gulf Coast region for more than 20 years. This ongoing project involves analysis by TO-15 (GC/MS) of more than 160 organic compounds in a single analytical run with part per trillion (PPT) reporting limits.

• TestAmerica provides research and development services in support of proprietary product identification projects for companies in the petroleum industry. The laboratory works with clients to help establish effective test methodology for the identification of unique organic compounds. Addressing these analytical challenges often requires modification to routine preparatory and analytical methods resulting in a customized approach to product identification.

• TestAmerica has been assisting a major petrochemical refinery for several years with their compliance monitoring and hazardous waste classification programs. Analytical testing involves a wide range of wet chemistry analysis and TCLP for both organic and inorganic constituents on a variety of challenging matrices covering over 100 samples per month.

• TestAmerica is the sole contracted lab supporting system monitoring samples at a large former oil terminal pipeline conducting facility remediation. The analytical support for this project requires the analysis of over 300 samples monthly for VOC + TPH compounds. To meet customer specific needs for this project, TestAmerica invested in specialized sampling media and delivers a customized data deliverable.
