Consultancy Brookes Bell Opens New UK Bunker Testing Lab
Technical and scientific consultancy Brookes Bell has opened a new bunker testing laboratory in the UK.
The facility in Bidston, in the north of England, was opened on Wednesday, the company said in a statement on its website on Monday. The firm first announced the development of the new laboratory in July.
"The new laboratory houses a state of the art, fuel-testing facility which will allow Brookes Bell to meet the increasing demand and complex nature of fuel-related investigations and claims," Jenny Davies, fuel services lead at Brookes Bell, said in the statement.
"We will be able to test fuel samples in accordance with table 2 of ISO 8217, highlighting substandard samples and helping to identify the causes and origins of any fuel-related problems.
"Our advanced analytical equipment will enable us to provide more exploratory and detailed analysis options over and above table 2 of ISO 8217."
