  • analytical chemistry in petroleum and petrochemical industry
  • corrosion in refinery processes

Range of activities:

  • evaluation via laboratory and engine tests of physicochemical and practical operational properties acc. to most recent testing procedures, both European and American:
    » of liquid fuels, biofuels and bio-components,
    » of lubricants, including: engine, gear and industrial oils, both fresh and used,
  • full range of services in the field of modern planning and monitoring the properties of lubricating oils in operation, including assessment of changes occurring in them, advice and expert opinions in the field of using oils of improper quality or their improper use;

Range of activities:

  • the development and modification of production technology for:
    » base oils; lubricants: industrial and engine oils, and lubricating greases;
    » petroleum waxes, paraffins and microwaxes, special waxes, wax compositions and special emulsions;
    » production chemicals used during exploitation and transport of crude oil and natural gas: corrosion inhibitors, paraffin inhibitors, paraffin dispersants, hydrate inhibitors, demulsifiers, paraffin/asphaltene solvents, flow improvers and their packages;
    » paving and industrial bitumen;

Range of activities:

We develop, improve and implement innovative technologies:

  • production of gasolines, aviation fuels, diesel and heating oils, classic and advanced biofuels, synthetic fuels, solid fuels (RDF, biomass etc.), gaseous fuels and fuel components;
  • obtaining of hydrogen from fossil, renewable and waste raw materials;
  • production of materials (catalysts, sorbents, modifiers) dedicated to sustainable processes and technologies;  
  • management of by-products/residuals generated in the processes of liquid, solid and gaseous fuels production.

Range of activities:

  • the small-scale production and sale of petroleum products in quantities of between 10 and 25,000 kg/batch:
    » oils and lubricants,
    » advanced products for the army,
    » washing preparations,
    » corrosion inhibitors,
