Oil in frac water testing
The amount of water used in and produced by hydraulic fracturing of shale gas wells is in the millions of gallons per well. Whether the water is going to be taken off site for disposal or reused for re-injection, the flowback or produced water needs pretreatment to remove any residual oil from the wa-ter. Waiting for remote laboratory results can take several days to a week. The InfraCal TOG/TPH ...

Preparation of Large-Size Laboratory Deposits of Cohesive Soil
High-quality, large-size cohesive soil deposits can be prepared in the laboratory using the slurry method, which has many advantages for research and calibration purposes. The requirements for such deposits are discussed, and details are presented of the apparatus used successfully to prepare deposits of Cornell clay. Fifteen medium-size deposits (0.6 m diameter by 1.2 m deep) and one large-size ...

Evaluation of Allowable Pressure Under Foundations
To understand the surcharge effect on test-loading results, water-saturated loessial soils were tested by bearing plates of different sizes in open pits and boring holes. All pit bottoms were accurately prepared for experiments. The surcharge around the bearing plate with an area of 600 cm2 was simulated by special equipment. Results of field experiments showed that the proportionality limit for ...

Influences on the water testing behaviors of private well owners
Many private wells in the United States and Canada already are contaminated, or are at risk of contamination. Regular testing for pathogenic bacteria is one of the most concrete measures well owners can use to determine whether or not their drinking water quality is safe. This study explored the factors and causal relationships that influence well owner water quality testing behavior. In-depth, ...

Cytiva - Membrane filtration for water quality testing
Microbial quality of a product has the potential for immediate impact to the consumer. A reliable and versatile water testing method is a necessity to determine the safety for human contact, use, and consumption, and detect the presence of organisms that cause spoilage and reduced shelf life. Often the challenge in water quality testing involves concentrating enough of the target organism to ...

The Importance of Water Testing After Natural Disasters
In the aftermath of a natural disaster, particularly earthquakes, infrastructure could be damaged and a safe source of drinking water is often not available. This may be due to damaged pipes or water supplies becoming contaminated. Our colleagues at Oxfamstate; “In the initial phases of an emergency it should be assumed that all water sources are contaminated microbiologically. After the ...

Factors Affecting Oil in Water Testing Methods
Various factors need to be considered when comparing methods to measure oil and grease in water. Whether you are trying to meet effluent limits for an NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit, comply with oil and grease limits for the Clean Water Act (CWA), or an industry satisfying a POTW’s (Publically Owned Treatment Works) discharge permit, it is important to ...

Test of Raschig Super-Pak® 250 - Case study
SUMMARY Rascliig Super-Pak 250 (RSP 250) structured packing was tested at FRI's experimental distillation unit. The packing was tested in the 4-foot (1.22 m) section of the low-pressure column with the cyclohexane/n-heptane {C^ICi) system at 4.5 and 23.5 psia (0.31 and 1.62 bar) and the o/p xylene system at 1.43 psia (0.1 bar), or 75 mm Hg. The installation and portions of the tests were observed ...

Heavy Metals Water Testing Powered by DNA
Water pollution is a worldwide problem affecting developing and developed countries alike. Heavy metal contaminants are one prevalent type of water pollutant. They are persistent in the environment once d is charged and removal from source waters is necessary to ensure a clean drinking water supply. The problem of heavy metal pollution arises from several sources. Heavy metals such as uranium can ...
