Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Sunday, February 23rd 2014 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS
WIRE)-- Intertek, the leading quality solutions provider to industries
worldwide, provided the bio-jet fuel quality testing for Etihad Airways’
historic demonstration flight of a Boeing 777 using the first
UAE-produced bio-kerosene, based upon innovative plant
biomass-processing technology.
Before the flight, Intertek
conducted the final quality control testing for the jet biofuel blend, a
new fuel which was partially converted from biomass. The UAE is one of a
handful of countries that have produced and flown commercial aircraft
using their own bio-kerosene (jet fuel).
Intertek’s Sharjah
petroleum and fuels laboratory has provided jet fuel quality testing
services to Etihad Airways for over two years. Intertek’s international
sampling and testing network helps to ensure aviation fuel supply chain
fuel quality is maintained. Intertek UAE provides additional jet fuel
quality testing to ASTM, MIL, DefStan, AFQRJOS, and other jet aviation
industry standards.
“Intertek is proud to support and to be
associated with Etihad Airways’ successful jet biofuel project," said
Robert Tawil, General Manager for the Analytical Assessment business
line. “Intertek has a long-standing presence in the United Arab Emirates
and the Gulf, offering petroleum and chemical testing and inspection
services as well as a wide range of regulatory and technical services.”
