Iash Information

The International Association for Stability, Handling and Use of Liquid Fuels (IASH) was formed in 1983 to become the foremost association for fuel stability, handling and use of liquid fuels, from refinery to end use and disposal. Our members are drawn from a cross-section of government, academia and industry - many are world-renowned technical experts in their field. Membership is open to students, individuals, and corporate-level Gold and Silver partnerships. IASH promotes research, development and discussion into the issues of liquid fuel stability, handling and use from detailed chemical pathways, through microbiological degradation and remediation, testing and issues arising from distribution and use. Over the IASH lifetime, we have moved from a world of solely conventional fuels derived from crude oil to today's reality of conventional fuels, synthetic fuels - including renewable fuels - as well as associated performance enhancing and stability additives. IASH continues to challenge the boundaries of science and understanding in all aspects of liquid fuels. IASH provides a forum to facilitate and encourage the exchange of scientific knowledge by conducting symposiums, which alternate every two years between North America and Europe. We are currently planning the 14th International Symposium on Stability, Handling and Use of Liquid Fuels to be held October 4-8, 2015 in Charleston, South Carolina USA.
