Four successful installation for the congolese office of control

17 July 2021 ─  /  Analytical Sciences  by Camille Bertrand

The Congolese Control Office (OCC) renews its trust in HTDS at four of their sites (Lubumbashi, Bukavu, Uvira, Doko) with the installation of new mining analysis solutions.

Last week, four Portable XRF X-50s were installed by our teams. These X-ray fluorescence analyzers use the proven, reliable and competitive technology of PiN diode detectors. Small, light and precise, they make it possible to control ores from local or imported production.

The purpose of the OCC is to ensure the regularity of commercial transactions and safeguard the interests of the various stakeholders in international trade in the Congo.
It is with this in mind that the office has worked for more than ten years with HTDS to secure their analyzes and verify the compliance of products in transaction on their premises.

Many other projects are underway, both in the field of cement control, and for the oil sector… Stay tuned!
