THPS analysis: Accurate, portable analysis in produced fluids
Helps ensuring the correct dose of THPS biocide is being applied at the target location.
Page last modified
October 31 2023
The OMMICA THPS analysis kit consists of a simple, highly accurate, portable colourimetric test to determine THPS in aqueous systems.
Accuracy is gained by addition of accurately measured reagents to a sample. This is then reacted at a specific time and temperature, to control the reaction and the resultant colour gives the level of THPS.
Absorbance of the reacted sample colour is measured using a colourimeter to give an accuracy of +/- 1ppm.
The analysis has been developed to be as accurate as HPLC, but allow on-site testing to take place in the field or offshore, through use of portable equipment.
