IASH Information

IASH is the world's foremost international organization devoted to all technical aspects of the stability, handling, and use of liquid fuels produced from petroleum and other non-petroleum based sources.

IASH is a non-political and non-commercial association and relies on volunteers to maintain autonomy from single organizations or companies.

IASH publishes a biannual newsletter and sponsors a biennial international conference, and publishes the technical content from the conferences in the conference proceedings.

IASH provides a forum to facilitate and encourage the exchange of scientific knowledge and promotes research and experimentation on the scientific and operational factors affecting the stability and handling of liquid fuels during their manufacture, blending, transportation and storage. Our volunteers are drawn from a cross-section of government, academia and industry. It is our goal to expand the body of knowledge of liquid fuels in a wide range of topic areas, including;

  • Crude oil and its refined products.
  • Fuels derived or processed from oil shale, tar sands, coal, natural gas and biomass.
  • Fuel additives and reformulated fuels such as those containing oxygenated components.
  • New technologies to characterize and study fuels.
  • Fundamental chemistry of fuels and fuel additives during storage and use.

IASH publishes notes on:

  • In-progress research
  • Technical issues encountered in fuel use, handling, and storage
  • Laboratory and field analysis issues and procedures.
