FAQs

What does Soliton Sciences specialize in?

We specialize in advanced analytical testing for the ethanol and bioproducts industries, including fuel ethanol testing, corn kernel fiber analysis, and process optimization using cutting-edge chromatography.

What is corn kernel fiber testing and why is it important?

Corn kernel fiber testing measures the conversion of cellulose to ethanol through the fermentation process. It helps facilities maximize D3 RINs and stay compliant with LCFS and EPA reporting requirements.

Do you offer testing for fuel-grade ethanol?

Yes. Our fuel ethanol testing services include analysis of ethanol, pH, sulfur, chloride, sulfate, and other parameters to ensure regulatory compliance.

What process testing services do you provide?

We offer fermentation efficiency tracking to optimize yields and reduce downtime in ethanol and biorefining facilities.

What industries do you serve?

We primarily serve ethanol producers, bioproduct manufacturers and feedstock developers across North America and Brazil.

Are your services compliant with U.S. and international regulations?

Yes. Our testing and reporting protocols are designed to meet ASTM, ISO, EPA, and LCFS requirements, with accurate data for government and third-party audits.

Can I get customized testing solutions for my plant?

Absolutely. We offer custom analytics packages tailored to your specific process, yield goals, and regulatory compliance needs.

Where is Soliton Sciences based?

We are headquartered in the United States and serve clients nationwide.

How can I get started with Soliton Sciences?

You can reach out to us via our contact page to request a consultation, submit a sample, or learn more about our testing services.

How does process testing improve ethanol yield?

Process testing gives ethanol producers real-time visibility into fermentation performance. By identifying inefficiencies, contamination, or deviations early, producers can make data-driven adjustments that increase yield, reduce downtime, and lower operating costs. Soliton Sciences provides validated analytical methods that deliver accurate, traceable results to support continuous process improvement.

What ASTM standards does your fuel ethanol testing cover?

Our fuel ethanol testing covers the full ASTM D4806 specification for denatured fuel ethanol, including ethanol content, pH, sulfur, inorganic chloride, sulfate, copper, acidity, gum content, and water content. Our ISO 17025 accredited laboratory methods ensure results are accurate, reproducible, and accepted for regulatory and export compliance.

Is Soliton Sciences ISO 17025 accredited?

Yes. Soliton Sciences is ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited for analytical testing of fuel ethanol and bioproducts. This accreditation confirms that our laboratory meets rigorous international standards for technical competence and quality management, ensuring our results are defensible, traceable, and audit-ready for regulatory and third-party review.
