Produced Water Monitoring

From MO2 Inc.

Due to the non-availability of Freon, there is need for an alternative method to measure the concentration of hydrocarbons in the effluent today. Current methods use solvent extraction and IR analysis of water samples. In this paper we present an alternative method, which does not use any solvents and can provide in-situ analysis of the hydrocarbon concentration in water. This method is based on FCI Environmental Inc.'s fiber optic chemical sensor (FOCS?) technology. It provides accurate and reliable data to improve overall water processing on platforms.
