Optimized Data Handling for Automatically Calculating the Hydrocarbon Index (HI) of "Produced Waters" from Gas Chromatographic Analysis with Galaxie™ Software
|
From Varian, Inc.
A poster session focusing on gas chromatography (GC) and the environment was held on Tuesday afternoon of Pittcon 2009 in Chicago. Gary Burce of Varian, Inc., Walnut Creek, California, presented a poster entitled "Optimized Data Handling for Automatically Calculating the Hydrocarbon Index (HI) of "Produced Waters" from Gas Chromatographic Analysis" Burce's co-authors on the poster were Graham Shelver, Charles Van Dortmond, and Bob Lott. According to the poster, oil and gas extraction from subsea wells produce large quantities of hydrocarbon contaminated water which are disposed of directly into the oceans. Determination of the Hydrocarbon Index (HI) is required to meet environmental legislation. Products & Services
Hardness testers measure a material's resistance to indentation. This calculation is determined by measuring the permanent depth or projected area of the indentation.
