Chemical Analysis
Chemical analysis covers the wet-chemistry and instrumental techniques — titration, chromatography, spectroscopy, and elemental analysis — used to identify and quantify components in feeds, intermediates, products, and waste streams. In refining and chemical processing, lab results drive feedstock acceptance, on-spec product release, environmental compliance reporting, and root-cause investigation of upsets. Strong analysts combine method development, QA/QC discipline, and an understanding of how data feeds back into plant operating decisions.
