IFTS News:
During the POLLUTEC Horizons show IFTS will be revealing its newly redesigned BOOTEST.
The BOOTEST is a piece of equipment that tests the quality of sludge from water once treated with a polymer.
The test equipment, which is now smaller in size, can be carried on-board an airplane and used everywhere in the field.
The test equipment has been designed, qualified and validated to be acceptable for the purpose of the international standard prEN 15742 related to the chemical conditioning of the sludges.

IFTS Laboratory Acquires Pendant Drop Tensiometer
IFTS has a new measuring device: a pendant drop tensiometer, which measures the surface tension of liquids. The tensiometer characterizes the behavior of fuel/water interfaces over a period of time during water separation efficiency tests performed according to the ISO 16332 standard. The tensiometer's analysis software provides accurate and repeatable characterization of liquid/solid/gas interfaces.  | The tensiometer in IFTS' laboratory in Agen, France.
