On January 31, a presentation of a mobile fuel quality control laboratory took place at the WOG gas station network. A distinctive feature of the mobile laboratory, which operates on the basis of a Volkswagen minibus, is the IROX – 2000 device manufactured by the Austrian company Grabner, which enables control of about 30 parameters of gasoline and stores in memory the results of 200 fuel measurements. The analysis processing time takes only 3.5 minutes, the press service of JV "Western Oil Group" told the Western Information Corporation.
The laboratory is also equipped with an Octanometer PE-7300M, which makes it possible to measure the octane number of gasolines and the cetane number of diesel fuel.
The laboratory allows for quality control during the acceptance, storage and dispensing of petroleum products, determination of the accuracy of fuel filling through fuel dispensers, and sampling for full analysis of petroleum products in a stationary laboratory.
"The purchase of a mobile laboratory is another step toward strengthening fuel quality control," noted Serhiy Koretskyi, director of JV "Western Oil Group." "After all, the company's implementation of a comprehensive program aimed at strengthening the quality of customer service primarily envisages guaranteeing fuel quality across the WOG network as a whole, including among operators who sell petroleum products under our trademark."
The availability of the mobile laboratory will also ensure, when necessary, prompt response to customer comments regarding fuel quality, since the operation of WOG's free telephone "hotline" in feedback mode optimally contributes to resolving urgent issues.
