requirements, inspection procedures, training, and disposal of waste
materials. Our staff is trained in the prompt removal and disposal
of fuel materials, including any spilled or contaminated fuel, in
accordance with environmental disposal regulations.
A critical component of site operations includes accounting and

Fuel Solutions to Reduce Cost and Protect the Environment. Louis Berger designs, constructs, and manages fuel supply operations for fuel-efficient and cost-effective operations.
Fuel Efficiency
Louis Berger develops customized solutions to meet our clients’
stringent energy needs, including providing fuel-efficient technology.
We can help clients meet their fuel efficiency requirements by offering
cutting-edge technology that helps reduce both costs and waste.
Blending Used Oil
In a program in Iraq, Louis Berger employed a closed system to blend
used oil from power plant gensets with Government-furnished JP-8
fuel. In total, from 2008 through 2011, we burned over a quarter
million gallons of used oil through this internal process, saving an
estimated $7.5 million in delivered fuel cost by: (1) decreasing the
amount of JP-8 fuel required on a one for one volume basis, and
(2) reducing the costs of transporting and disposing of used oil as
hazardous waste. This fuel recovery and purification process falls
in line with the client’s move toward employing more economical,
cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions for energy
production. By blending used engine oil with fuel, our methods are
safer and more efficient than those of other firms, reducing the need
for transporting used oil and further minimizing the risks associated
with fuel transport in remote and conflicted areas.
Delivering Fuel-Efficient Solutions. Louis Berger’s solutions to reduce fuel consumption have saved our clients millions of dollars.
Our Capabilities
• Genset Selection and Application Engineering to Meet Fuel Efficiency Needs
