Hydrocarbons 
Leeder Consulting have considerable expertise in the analysis of hydrocarbons and offer a range of tests which can assist in identifying and characterising hydrocarbon contamination and hydrocarbon based products.

These services include Hydrocarbon Fingerprinting which can determine the type and age of hydrocarbon free product or contamination which can be invaluable in identifying possible sources and determining the best approach to future action, remediation, and who may be responsible.

TPH Fractionation can provide important information about the actual composition and health risks posed by petroleum compounds by separating and quantitating the aromatic and aliphatic compounds.
