Liquid Fuel Testing
America’s electric companies rely on a variety of domestic fuels to generate electricity. Sterling Analytical is a full service fuel testing laboratory committed to providing quality fuel testing. Started as a fuels laboratory in 1957 for the power plant industry, we tested the various power plant generation fuels including coal, jet, diesel (ULSD) and #6 fuel. Since the development of wood fired plants, we have expanded our testing to include biomass products from various sources including demolition and old growth wood, pellets, cocoa shells, peat, paper and plastics.
We are a commercially approved Lab for Diesel Fuel Testing for Nuclear Power Plants. Method 29 stack testing for boilers and incinerators. Petroleum contaminated sites and spills (RCRA/UST)
