Oil and gas industry
Technical expertise for the qualification of your fuels, oils and fluids under representative engine and environmental conditions
The Emitech Group supports manufacturers in the petrochemical sector with the validation of fluids, fuels and consumables intended for propulsion and energy storage systems: ICE engines (diesel, gas, H₂, NH₃, biofuels), electric powertrains (cooling oils, gearbox lubricants, dielectric fluids) and batteries (thermoregulation fluids, electrolytes, immersion fluids). Our services enable the verification of the compatibility, performance and impact of these fluids on thermal, electric or hybrid powertrains and their critical components, in realistic and severe environments.
By replicating test conditions that closely resemble those encountered in real-world operation (endurance, temperature, humidity, vibration, corrosion, etc.), we help energy solution providers demonstrate the robustness and compliance of their products, regardless of the propulsion technology involved.
Our scope of application
Our support is aimed at players in the petrochemical industry developing new fuels and fluids for use in propulsion and energy storage systems, regardless of the technologies involved. We offer our expertise and testing facilities to assess the compatibility, performance and impact of these new fuels and fluids on reference systems and their components.
- Internal combustion engines (ICE): diesel, gas, H₂, NH₃, biofuels, e-fuels
- Electric powertrains (eGMP): electric motor cooling oils, gearbox lubricants, dielectric fluids
- Energy storage systems (batteries): thermal management fluids, immersion fluids, electrolytes
- Critical components: pumps, compressors, valves, injection systems, heat exchangers
Our facilities allow us to integrate the various desired environments and usage profiles — road, industrial or stationary — for comprehensive and representative testing.
