It is part of the Quality Control Department and is responsible for the quality control of oil and gas liquids and their derivatives. In the laboratory, all hydrocarbon materials are tested by automatic and semi-automatic check devices. The testing procedures are carried out by professional engineers using sophisticated devices and standard methods. The test results are analyzed by the technical team to confirm whether the quality of the tested materials is in accordance with the national standards of the country, and accordingly the quality license is issued. There is also a central laboratory for the stabilization of light and heavy hydrocarbons, where experienced engineers test hydrocarbon materials on a daily basis. New devices have been purchased to test hydrocarbons from oil, diesel, petroleum, and gas liquids, which play an important role in improving technical capacity and increasing the company’s income.
