Unknown Substance Characterization

Because the Torrent project management team is comprised of degreed scientists, their involvement with clients is not limited to logistics and report delivery but also includes becoming a partner in problem solving. In one project, a mystery substance was submitted to Torrent for identification and for a determination of how and why the substance was formed. The client was only able to give the Torrent project manager information as to the location of the material. Through a focused inquiry, the project manager ascertained critical facts that led to a hypothesis for both the identity of the material and the reasons behind its formation. The hypothesis was then tested and confirmed.

How it helped our client: Our client was able to solve a customer’s immediate problem and offer an effective long-range solution to prevent the problem from reoccurring.
