FATS AND OILS QUALITY LAB

Vegetable, algal or microbial oils, and animal fats, are feedstocks for a variety of commercial products.  The properties of those products depend on the bulk composition of the feedstock oil or fat, and impurities derived from the process of isolating the oil and fat, and the origin, the particular animal, plant, microbe, or waste source.  Also, environmental factors or previous uses can wreak havoc on purity and oil quality.   R.W. Heiden Associates tests a variety of materials and substances that contain vegetable oils and animal fats or are derived from them.    We can assist you in determining quality, product stability and authenticity.  

Are you using vegetable oils and fats in your processes, as a fuel for diesel vehicles, as a feedstock for higher end chemicals or biodiesel, as a hydraulic fluid or lubricant, or as an additive or ingredient in food or feed formulations ?   

Are you developing new strains of microbes, algae or plants that make their own unique fatty acid profile, or have special cellular apparatus for increasing oil yield ?   Are you cultivating algae or developing processing capability to harvest algal oils ?   

If the answer to any of those questions is yes or maybe, we can help meet the most demanding project requirements.   We use a variety of AOCS, ASTM, and specially developed test methods to meet your needs.

 Among the types of oils  and tests we perform  are the following:

Biodiesel Feedstock (click here for more info on B100 and biodiesel blends testing)
