We offer a range of services to meet unique customer requirements beyond MIC and biofouling.
Application‑relevant efficacy and durability testing under controlled, replicated conditions. We design test matrices that reflect your use environment, selecting representative substrates and target organisms to address microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC)
Site‑specific sampling and rapid diagnostics to quantify microbial risk in fuel systems. We develop a sampling plan for tanks, dispensers, and sumps, collect fuel, water‑bottom, and interface samples, and perform field screening prior to laboratory analysis. We quantify microbial loads using appropriate molecular and culture‑based methods and interpret results in line with current standards or guidance. Findings are tied to corrosion risk, filter plugging, and fuel quality impacts, with likely contributing conditions identified.
On‑site, measurement‑based assessments for real‑world performance and compliance. We conduct site visits, review as‑builts, permits, and operating records, and run targeted field tests. We quantify performance against design and regulatory requirements, identify hydraulic and biological constraints, and outline feasible adjustments with cost, risk, and implementation considerations.
Rigorous study design and literature appraisal tailored to your decision context. We help refine research questions, select appropriate study designs, define outcomes and instruments, and plan sampling, power, and analysis. We critically appraise and synthesize the literature for relevance and quality, reconcile conflicting findings, and document assumptions and limitations.
