00:08.149 --> 00:10.489
The fuels you pump into your vehicles ,

00:10.689 --> 00:13.128
the fuels that keep you airborne , the

00:13.138 --> 00:15.409
fuels that launch the space missions ,

00:15.418 --> 00:17.468
the fuels that propel our military

00:17.479 --> 00:19.788
around the world , they have to be

00:19.798 --> 00:22.938
right . Quality fuels are paramount and

00:22.948 --> 00:25.249
the prerequisite for your success ,

00:34.860 --> 00:37.979
Dlas Global fuel network , composed of

00:37.990 --> 00:40.101
quality assurance representatives and

00:40.101 --> 00:41.950
laboratory professionals has an

00:41.959 --> 00:43.848
essential support team called the

00:43.848 --> 00:46.099
quality technical directorate based at

00:46.110 --> 00:48.650
DL A headquarters . The DL A energy

00:48.659 --> 00:50.935
quality team works collaborative with

00:50.944 --> 00:54.284
stakeholders to provide policy guidance

00:54.294 --> 00:56.994
support to ensure you meet the duty

00:57.005 --> 00:59.084
mission . The quality technical

00:59.095 --> 01:01.095
directorate works hand in hand with

01:01.095 --> 01:02.984
industry partners and the service

01:02.984 --> 01:05.385
control points to maintain quality at

01:05.394 --> 01:08.400
every step . So in order to get these

01:08.410 --> 01:10.466
aircraft off the ground and meet the

01:10.466 --> 01:12.632
mission , we work with DL A where they

01:12.632 --> 01:14.720
actually acquire our inventory . DLA

01:14.730 --> 01:17.139
runs their level of quality control and

01:17.150 --> 01:18.983
quality surveillance before even

01:18.983 --> 01:21.206
submitting or sending out the fuel that

01:21.206 --> 01:23.599
they procure DL energy helps us daily

01:23.610 --> 01:25.959
with the quality control of the product

01:25.970 --> 01:29.279
that we issue here at DL A Energy

01:29.290 --> 01:31.457
headquarters . Quality Technical works

01:31.457 --> 01:33.660
with Dod at international partner

01:33.669 --> 01:35.660
meetings where specifications are

01:35.669 --> 01:37.860
established quality assurance methods

01:37.870 --> 01:40.019
are maintained and environmental

01:40.029 --> 01:42.239
sustainability goals are developed .

01:42.419 --> 01:44.160
Quality technical is Dlas

01:44.169 --> 01:46.225
representative with industry and our

01:46.225 --> 01:48.419
partner nations sustainability is a

01:48.430 --> 01:50.800
very big one right now from the

01:50.809 --> 01:52.753
government directives , especially

01:52.753 --> 01:55.400
we're aligning with the future intent

01:55.410 --> 01:58.309
to meet those goals under the quality

01:58.319 --> 02:00.097
technical directorate are three

02:00.097 --> 02:02.319
divisions , product technology and

02:02.330 --> 02:04.669
standardization , quality , policy and

02:04.680 --> 02:08.020
training and quality operations . The

02:08.029 --> 02:10.196
product technology and standardization

02:10.196 --> 02:12.029
division serves as the technical

02:12.029 --> 02:14.362
engineering advisor for energy products ,

02:14.362 --> 02:16.169
resolving technical issues with

02:16.179 --> 02:18.690
specifications , testing methods and

02:18.699 --> 02:20.990
fuel quality . We serve as the

02:21.000 --> 02:23.339
technical experts for the organization

02:23.350 --> 02:25.419
so we understand how they're made ,

02:25.429 --> 02:27.596
what they're composed of how they work

02:27.596 --> 02:29.919
in the field and what deviations might

02:29.929 --> 02:32.151
happen that would affect those products

02:32.151 --> 02:34.610
ability . Next , the quality policy and

02:34.619 --> 02:36.675
training division turn international

02:36.675 --> 02:38.729
guidelines into procedures for our

02:38.740 --> 02:42.270
teams . NATO has a document

02:42.279 --> 02:44.589
that outlines the minimum testing

02:44.600 --> 02:46.809
standards for all NATO members . We

02:46.820 --> 02:48.653
will coordinate with the service

02:48.653 --> 02:50.876
components to make sure that the policy

02:50.876 --> 02:52.931
that we're setting forth meets their

02:52.931 --> 02:54.820
requirements . It allows them the

02:54.820 --> 02:56.931
flexibility to perform their missions

02:56.931 --> 02:59.153
without negatively impacting them . The

02:59.153 --> 03:01.098
training component then builds the

03:01.098 --> 03:03.042
curriculums . We offer a number of

03:03.042 --> 03:05.240
training classes for our workforce .

03:05.250 --> 03:08.410
Our qars as well as provide training to

03:08.419 --> 03:10.530
our joint services across the world .

03:10.530 --> 03:13.059
We teach two courses a year for the J

03:13.070 --> 03:15.089
20 JO seven , which is our overview

03:15.100 --> 03:17.490
course and our interplane course at

03:17.500 --> 03:20.039
Fort Greg Adams uh which has a

03:20.050 --> 03:23.320
laboratory and a bulk petroleum

03:23.330 --> 03:25.639
facility that we can engage with and

03:25.649 --> 03:28.320
get the practical application that was

03:28.330 --> 03:32.000
too fast following through with

03:32.009 --> 03:34.080
policies in the field falls to the

03:34.089 --> 03:36.669
quality operations division . The team

03:36.679 --> 03:39.110
travels worldwide to oversee government

03:39.119 --> 03:41.759
commercial and dl a field operations .

03:42.330 --> 03:44.899
The space program is a prime example

03:45.339 --> 03:47.395
with aerospace , there's no room for

03:47.395 --> 03:50.750
error . Imagine we deliver 20 trucks on

03:50.759 --> 03:52.910
the day of the launch and the product

03:52.919 --> 03:56.130
is not on quality scraping . A launch

03:56.139 --> 03:58.028
can cost millions and millions of

03:58.028 --> 04:01.809
dollars supporting the qars worldwide

04:01.820 --> 04:04.979
who are actually doing the the quality

04:04.990 --> 04:07.009
assurance into our products . And I

04:07.020 --> 04:09.187
just make sure that they get the right

04:09.187 --> 04:11.929
information to do their job quality .

04:11.940 --> 04:14.229
Technical results are now applied at

04:14.240 --> 04:16.899
the DL A Energy Regional Commands where

04:16.910 --> 04:18.688
the boots on the ground work is

04:18.688 --> 04:21.380
performed . DL A energy utilizes

04:21.390 --> 04:23.989
commercial laboratories worldwide and

04:24.000 --> 04:26.470
runs its own labs in key locations

04:26.480 --> 04:29.559
including Germany , Japan , South Korea

04:29.570 --> 04:32.630
and Alaska joint base , Elmendorf

04:32.820 --> 04:35.540
Richardson is where DL A chemists test

04:35.549 --> 04:38.369
over 5000 fuel samples annually .

04:38.980 --> 04:40.924
There's critical characteristics ,

04:40.924 --> 04:43.036
whether physical or chemical that are

04:43.036 --> 04:45.202
affected by transport for the aviation

04:45.202 --> 04:47.202
assets that we have . We do thermal

04:47.202 --> 04:49.369
stability , we do existing gum , we do

04:49.369 --> 04:51.536
fizzy fuel system icing inhibitor that

04:51.536 --> 04:53.591
ensures mission essential aircraft ,

04:53.591 --> 04:56.480
stay in the air . The real eyes and

04:56.489 --> 04:58.989
ears of DL A quality control are our

04:59.000 --> 05:01.779
quality assurance reps . More than 100

05:01.790 --> 05:04.589
scattered over the globe in America's

05:04.600 --> 05:06.322
north , we've got a half dozen

05:06.322 --> 05:08.809
dedicated professionals . We have 17

05:08.820 --> 05:11.010
quality folks in America's West in

05:11.019 --> 05:13.380
America's East . We have 47 qas , we

05:13.390 --> 05:16.359
have 17 qas in Europe and Africa . We

05:16.369 --> 05:19.149
have nine qars in the Middle East . We

05:19.160 --> 05:21.339
have 15 qas covering the inter Pacific

05:21.350 --> 05:24.149
region beginning with fuel leaving the

05:24.160 --> 05:26.619
refineries . Quality testing never

05:26.630 --> 05:28.790
stops when you buy fuel from the

05:28.799 --> 05:31.029
refinery . It's always on spec the

05:31.040 --> 05:33.720
danger is when you move it into other

05:33.730 --> 05:35.910
modes , for instance , pipelines ,

05:35.920 --> 05:39.329
tankers , barges trucks , then it can

05:39.339 --> 05:42.510
become , we are there on the ground

05:42.519 --> 05:45.000
from the time we procure the product

05:45.010 --> 05:46.843
all the way till it goes into an

05:46.843 --> 05:48.850
aircraft . Our qas are vital to the

05:48.859 --> 05:51.339
mission and we work daily to ensure

05:51.350 --> 05:53.406
that quality product is delivered on

05:53.406 --> 05:55.461
time and it runs underground all the

05:55.461 --> 05:58.940
way to a 11 miles away . The services

05:58.950 --> 06:01.061
are more than our customers . They're

06:01.061 --> 06:03.329
also our teammates in sustaining fuel

06:03.339 --> 06:05.709
quality . We rely heavily on the

06:05.720 --> 06:08.470
services for their diligence in

06:08.480 --> 06:10.589
executing our quality mission upon

06:10.600 --> 06:12.822
reception of every single fuel , I test

06:12.822 --> 06:14.822
the fuel itself for our own quality

06:14.822 --> 06:17.044
control and quality surveillance . Once

06:17.044 --> 06:19.156
the truck gets here , we will perform

06:19.156 --> 06:21.267
our quality . Sure as quality control

06:21.267 --> 06:23.267
measures to ensure that the fuel is

06:23.267 --> 06:24.878
clean and stays clean . When

06:24.878 --> 06:26.878
irregularities do come up , we work

06:26.878 --> 06:28.822
with the service control points to

06:28.822 --> 06:30.544
determine possible remediation

06:30.544 --> 06:33.019
solutions to preserve fuel inventories .

06:34.059 --> 06:36.450
Finally , we have one more very

06:36.459 --> 06:39.179
important customer . Nobody knows this

06:39.190 --> 06:41.480
but the most important mission we have

06:41.489 --> 06:44.260
is Air Force one . We'll go to wherever

06:44.269 --> 06:46.700
in our area of operation and procure

06:46.709 --> 06:49.100
that sample from the source and take

06:49.109 --> 06:51.450
that sample to a lab to be tested prior

06:51.459 --> 06:53.839
to the fuel going into the presidential

06:53.850 --> 06:56.359
aircraft . One thing is always certain ,

06:56.570 --> 06:58.737
every bit of product that goes through

06:58.737 --> 07:01.959
will be on spec the system of checks

07:01.970 --> 07:03.914
and balances has been in place for

07:03.914 --> 07:06.399
decades yet it evolves with new

07:06.410 --> 07:08.649
technologies and challenges all the

07:08.660 --> 07:11.549
time . DL A energy is the leader in

07:11.559 --> 07:13.950
energy development and delivery and you

07:13.959 --> 07:16.179
can count on quality products filling

07:16.190 --> 07:18.959
your tank across the globe . DL A

07:18.970 --> 07:21.137
energy is a great partner to have . So

07:21.137 --> 07:22.970
we co located with them and that

07:22.970 --> 07:25.303
partnership is essential to our success .

07:25.303 --> 07:27.526
We could not do what we do without DL A

07:27.526 --> 07:27.829
point . In fact .
