RENDIMIENTO AMBIENTAL

Operator checking equipment
Developing products you can rely on calls for rigorous testing, so you can be confident our products can help safeguard the future of the marine environment.

 

We recognize that good environmental performance has to be more than a claim. In the challenging oil and gas industry, which has to operate in unpredictable field conditions, environmental performance has to be proven on a daily basis and be backed up with appropriate scientific data.

It is important to ask the right questions to ensure product claims are backed up with appropriate scientific data. You need to be confident that your choice of products meets their claims. That’s why our experts conduct thorough testing in conditions that mimic the marine environment – not freshwater or soil conditions. We invest the time and effort to lead the way, testing at component level to gather marine toxicity, biodegradation and bioaccumulation data; regardless of the level present. We analyse this data to make sure the true environmental performance of the product is clear. Only then do we feel confident in recommending it to you.

Developing marine solutions is as important to us as helping you to optimize operational performance and cut costs. For us, safeguarding the future of the industry is vital.

 

Measuring environmental performance

 

The key aspects regarding the environmental impact of chemicals released into the sea can be broadly divided into three categories:

  • Marine toxicity: the potential for a chemical to kill or harm marine life
  • Marine biodegradation: how quickly the chemical is going to break down naturally in the sea
  • Bioaccumulation: the potential for a chemical to accumulate in the fatty tissues of organisms, and so enter the food chain

Typical Environmental tests

 

OECD 306 - Biodegradability in SEA WATER

ASTM 5864 - Biodegradation of lubricants in fresh water

CEC L-33-A-94 - Biodegradability of two stroke cycle outboard engine oils in fresh water. Test method no longer available

OECD 301B - Ready biodegradability in fresh water (modified Sturm test)

OECD 201 - Toxicity to fresh water algae

OECD 202 - Toxicity to fresh water copepods

OECD 203 - Toxicity to fresh water fish

OECD 203 / PARCOM 1995 - Toxicity to MARINE fish (Scophthalmus maximus)

ISO 10253 - Toxicity to MARINE algae (Skeletonema costatum)

ISO 14669 - Toxicity to MARINE algae (Skeletonema costatum)

PARCOM 1995 - Toxicity to sediment reworkers (Corophium volutator)

OECD 117 - Bioaccumulation potential - build-up of organic chemicals in fatty tissues in organisms

OECD 107 - Bioaccumulation potential - build-up of organic chemicals in fatty tissues in organisms
