Special Features
Core Functions
Our state of the art laboratory plays a vital role in maintaining product quality. Every batch of fuel and lubricant undergoes thorough testing and analysis to ensure reliable performance, safety, and compliance with globally recognized ASTM standards.
Base Oil, Gas Oil & Gasoline
Pre discharge tests are carried out for these three products before receipt through import tankers. The product discharge initiates only after verifying the conformity against the standards. Even during the discharge, the products are monitored by collecting samples from receiving pipe lines at the jetty and receiving end. The quality plan of Lanka IOC PLC includes monthly monitoring of the product quality in storage tanks and batch formation tests carried out for each product at regular intervals prescribed. Each product before loading to tank trucks is analyzed daily to ensure the quality of the products delivered to Lanka IOC PLC retail outlets.
Additives
Carry out receiving inspection and testing for each & every fuel & lube additive to ensure their receiving quality.
Lubricants
The laboratory is equipped to carry out testing for lubricants produced at lube blending plant to ensure the suitability of the lubricants for a specific purpose. The testing of lubricants is continuously carried out for each and every batch of lubricants from initial base blend, in process products in kettles and fully blended products. Also the product is tested before filling in to containers/bowsers to verify the conformity.
