TPI is a world-class laboratory services provider with 30+ years of experience in providing environmental laboratory services to numerous clients across West and Central Africa. We provide a wide variety of laboratory investigations by combining the right methods, state-of-the-art equipment, and expertise to support your environmental performance.

We are constantly improving to meet the changing trends in the industry to satisfy the ever-demanding needs for analytical precision. Our laboratories are accredited and meet necessary local and international regulatory requirements. Standard analytical methods according to ASTM, APHA, and USEPA are used in our processes and We understand the significance of well-timed analysis to meet turnaround time and reporting to our clients. Hence, we carry out internal quality checks, interlaboratory comparisons, and proficiency tests to attenuate some common mistakes made in commercial laboratories and this helps to improve our capacity to generate reliable and quality-assured data; enabling decision-makers to make informed decisions.

The laboratory services performed at TPI include high-quality testing of water (potable and non-potable), soil, sediment, plankton and benthic fauna, air, contaminants, and other environmental matrices. Our qualified experts assist in the development of operating protocols, environmental sampling, and analysis to deliver timely and accurate results to our clients, with fast-track processing available for some tests.

A brief list of the analysis we provide include:
  • Microbiological Analysis: Bacterial and Fungal Counts and Identification, Coliform, Sulphur Reducing Bacteria, etc.)

Our team of experts have the ability to work in the most challenging environments whilst providing solutions to various clients. Our mobile laboratory is fully equipped with AAS, GC and other testing equipment and follows approved methodologies as required by both national and international environmental protection agencies and adheres to strict QA/QC procedures.
Having a thorough knowledge of how various chemicals, biocides, etc taint our environment is an absolute necessity as global concerns continue to rise. We provide a full range of environmental toxicology analyses of various environmental matrices (water, soils, sediments, effluent) and our clients prefer TPI as their one-stop provider for ecotoxicity and bioaccumulation services.

We have experience with a vast number of freshwater and marine test organisms in acute and chronic toxicity studies and are knowledgeable in testing and analytically establishing exposure levels in a variety of environmental matrices. Our studies are closely monitored with current analytical equipment and competence.

We have been conducting ecotoxicological test design (sampling, testing, and reporting) for over 15 years for industries who want to comply with local and international standards such as:
  • Environmental Guidelines and Standards for the Petroleum Industry in Nigeria (EGASPIN)
  • Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
  • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Crude oil fingerprinting is a critical tool for the oil and gas industry, providing valuable information about the source and specific characteristics of particular crude oil. By analyzing a range of biomarkers and other chemical compounds, we can determine the geological origin and history of your crude oil, as well as its quality and potential for refining.

Some of the biomarkers and tests we commonly use in crude oil fingerprinting include:
  • Hopanes and steranes: These compounds are found in crude oils and can be used to determine the type of organic matter that was present when the oil was formed.
  • Isotope ratios: By analyzing the ratio of different isotopes in a sample, we can determine the temperature and pressure conditions under which the oil was formed, as well as its age.
  • Saturated hydrocarbons: The relative proportions of different saturated hydrocarbons can provide insights into the source rock and depositional environment of the oil.
  • Asphaltenes: These complex hydrocarbons can be used to assess the quality and refining potential of crude oil.
Our laboratory has the advanced technology and expertise to allow us to provide accurate and reliable results, helping you make informed business decisions. Contact us today to learn more about how we can assist your business.
