Our refinery and blending facilities
Haltermann Carless refining and blending facilities in Harwich (UK) and Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg (Germany) have 80 dedicated fuel blending tanks, storage tanks ranging from 8,000 to 880,000 litres and dedicated drum storage.
To prevent cross-contamination, each tank operates separately and independently. As a further safety measure, each tank has its own pump and mixing nozzle.
Excellent mixing accuracy is ensured through a sophisticated radar measuring system. As a further precaution against contamination or moisture entry, all products are filled into drums via a 2-micron filter and hydrophilic filter cartridge.
All sites are audited to ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment) and ISO 50001 (energy), ensuring that all activities related to our customers are of the highest quality. The development and quality control of all our products are carried out in the sites' own testing and analysis laboratories. Our Hamburg laboratory is accredited by DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.
To guarantee rapid distribution of our fuel specialities abroad, we use extensive external storage facilities for bulk and packaged products all over the world.
