Petroleum industry is still expected to dominate energy market for years until alternative energy sources become more economical and widespread. During that transition, the oil and gas industry is called to contribute promoting energy security and reducing their impact on the environment, economy, and society.

Maximization of calorific power and the concurrent reduction of polluting elements have become strong requirements in the energy production field.

In line with the renewed emphasis on climate change mitigation, search for purity and minimized environmental impact of fossil fuels has become a strong requirement. Limitation of global warming by reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission is the main target.

Animal feed is a crucial part of the food supply chain affecting the composition and quality of the livestock products (milk, meat and eggs). Feed analysis is therefore determinant in terms of safety of food that people consume.

Measurement of Protein content in food, feed and forages plays a critical role in public health both in terms of nutrition and food safety. It applies to three major areas in the food production process chain: raw material inspection, process control, and final analysis for label claim.

For many years sulphur was a neglected element in soil science although it is essential for plant growth. In recent years, however, sulphur has received more attention due mainly to reports of sulphur deficiency in crops.

Elemental Analysis of soils is primarily focused on the determination of Carbon and Nitrogen content. Both elements are essential for the quality of soil but most important is their mutual relation C/N ratio.

Today’s agriculture, becoming more and more productive to face world’s population growing, needs to be more than ever respective of the environment and attentive to the quality of products. A wise balancing of elements in the soil mechanism is the key factor.

The search for new forms of clean and sustainable energy is today one of the most demanding targets. (CHNS)(O) analysis is the typical application for determination of heat values and pollutants, keeping under control environmental impact of regenerated resources such as Biomass, Biofuel and Industrial Wastes.
