Based on EN 14112 and using a 743 Rancimat instrument. It is an accelerated oxidation test with the oxidative stability expressed in hours. Main Research: Yung Chee Liang
Based on ASTM D 1796 (1997) and using a centrifuge. This result is important because high water and sediment contents can corrode and block the fuel filters and injectors. Main Research: Harrison Lau Lik Nang
Based on ASTM E 203. The determination is carried out using the Karl-Fischer Titrator. The result is important as biodiesel is hygroscopic. Main Research: Harrison Lau Lik Nang
Based on ASTM D 2500. The cloud point is the temperature of a liquid specimen at which the smallest observable cluster of wax crystals first appears upon cooling under prescribed conditions. Main Research: Yung Chee Liang
Based on ASTM D 97. The pour point is the lowest temperature at which movement of the test specimen is observed under the prescribed conditions of the test. Main Research: Yung Chee Liang
