The petroleum refining industry has advanced from producing cheap kerosene as its main role during inception to its diversity today where the demands of modern transportation have led to production of gasoline, diesel and jet fuels. Industrial innovations have created the demand for petrochemical products such as lubricants, solvents, process oils and resins; also, specialty products like asphalt, wax and coke. Modern oil refineries produce a variety of different products including many that are used in the petrochemical industry as feedstock.
Employees who work in this industry are at risk for exposure to chemical compounds detrimental to their health and safety. Communities may also assume similar risks. Supelco offers a range of products for air monitoring of industrial conditions to assure worker and community safety.
Our air monitoring products are useful for sampling of Indoor Air and Ambient Air.
