摘要：Background: Petroleum is hydrocarbon oil found in suitable rock strata and extracted and refined to produce premium motor spirit (Gasoline), Automotive gas oil (heavy fuel oil), Jet A -1(kerosene), and paraffin. OBJECTIVE: In this research, the researcher aimed to explore the quality of petroleum products in Liberia form September 2015 to December 2015. METHODS: Petroleum samples were obtained from drums, tank, and ships from Liberia Petroleum Refining Company (LPRC). BIVAC Liberia Petroleum Laboratory was used to conduct the analysis. Analysis conducted for this study are presented in table one. RESULTS: Based on the results obtained from Table 2, Table 3, and Table 4 clearly state that petroleum products between the periods September 2015 and December 2015 are in compliant with quality standard of Joint fuelling system check list jet-a1 Embodying the most stringent requirement following specifications for grade shown (a) British mod def Stan 91-91/issue 7, amendment 1, dated 16 December 2011, JET A1 (b) ASTM D 1655-11b. JET-A1, Issue 27- February 2013 Supersedes issue 26- May 2012 1. CONCLUSION: This research is the first of its kind in attempting to identify the quality of petroleum products in Liberia. Petroleum is a hydrocarbon oil found in suitable rock strata and extracted and refined to produce premium motor spirit (Gasoline), Automotive gas oil (heavy fuel oil), Jet A 1(kerosene), and paraffin. Petroleum products in Liberia between the periods September 2015 and December 2015 are in compliant with quality standard.
