Chemical Analysis

Texas OilTech Laboratories offers a broad range of laboratory experiments to help clients determine the chemistry of brine and produced water. When it comes to hazardous metal disposal, Texas OilTech Laboratories provides complete chemical composition and detailed property measurements for decreasing the risk of toxicity of the environment.

 

 

The following tests are available for chemical analysis:

  • Organic Compounds by GC-MS
  • Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
  • Trace Metal Testing
  • Hydrogen Sulfide Content
  • Arsenic and Mercury in Water by ICP
  • Hazardous Waste Characterization (RCRA)
  • Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP)
  • Specific Gravity and pH of Brine and Water
  • Electrical Conductivity, Resistivity and Salinity
  • Benzene, Toluene, Xylene (BTX) Concentrates Analysis by Capillary Column GasChromatography

Texas OilTech Laboratories uses the state-of-the-art Scanning Electron Microscope equipped with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) for compositional analysis of the solids. This analysis enables the client to understand the composition and the amount of suspended solids in produced water for better scale management.

Texas OilTech Laboratories’ Brine and Produced Water testing package covers the determination of the total nonaromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and C9+ aromatic hydrocarbons in BTX concentrates by capillary column gas chromatography.
