Biodiesel Testing Services & Renewable Fuel Analysis

Providing ISO/IEC 17025 accredited Biodiesel Testing Services for FAME, HVO, and specialized Biofuel Testing blends.

Quality, Compliance & Feedstock Assurance

AGT Labs provides professional Biodiesel Testing Services to verify product cleanliness, stability, and regulatory compliance. We specialize in both traditional FAME (Biodiesel) and Renewable Diesel (HVO), performing appearance, corrosion, residue, and contamination checks to ensure your product meets stringent market standards.

Our Biodiesel Testing Services support producers, blenders, and distributors with accredited testing for EN 14214, ASTM D6751, and ASTM D975 (for Renewable Diesel). From feedstock verification to final blend confirmation, we offer method-matched sample handling and interpretive reporting to manage supply-chain risks effectively.

Value for Stakeholders: Producers securing BQ-9000 certification through our Biodiesel Testing Services, Distributors verifying blend accuracy for RINs, and Fleet Managers preventing filter plugging.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my sample is off-spec?
If results from our Biodiesel Testing Services fall outside technical limits, our chemists provide immediate consultation to help identify root causes and advise on potential corrective blending or treatment options.
Is your biodiesel testing ISO accredited?
Yes, AGT Labs provides accredited Biodiesel Testing Services. Our scope explicitly includes EN 14110 (Methanol in Biodiesel) and we utilize our flexible scope capability to support the full range of ASTM D6751 requirements.
How fast can I get results?
Routine production QC analysis via our Biodiesel Testing Services is typically delivered within 24 to 72 hours. We offer expedited services for Houston-area port logistics and refinery operations.
Can you quantify residual methanol?
Yes, we use accredited EN 14110 GC-FID methodology as part of our Biodiesel Testing Services to quantify residual methanol, which is a critical safety and quality parameter for biodiesel flash point compliance.
