LabBox
10X FASTER THAN CHLOROFORM EXTRACTION |
REDUCE CORROSION INHIBITOR RESIDUALS COSTS
You have work to do & limited resources to work with, yet there are no shortcuts when testing for corrosion inhibitor residuals to manage corrosion risks. Until you discover the LabBox.
LabBox is 10X faster than chloroform extraction, more accurate and more precise.
Some of your peers have already dropped sample analysis time from over 30 minutes to just a few minutes with LabBox. Our 3-month trial rental includes the training and support your lab needs to get started, and 70% of your rental cost applies toward your final purchase, because 90% of labs purchase after the LabBox trial.
Would you like to have more time available in your work day? Book a consultation with an expert to assess if LabBox fits in your process.
Features
LabBox uses fluorescence to measure quaternary alkyl pyridinium (APQ) salts concentrations in corrosion inhibitor residuals in oilfield waters.
- High accuracy and precision
- Sensitive, with detection limit as low as 1 ppm in 5 seconds of measurement
- Fast and easy sample preparation, just filter and dilute. No toxic solvents
- LEDs and interlocks for system safety and status information indicators
- Integrated USB spectrometer and cuvette holder with a spill-recovery drain system
- Optically stabilized, long life, high-intensity 365 nm (UV)LED light source
- Free software license for life. Wilson Analytical LightPilot software for fluorescence quantitation
Applications
Corrosion Inhibitor containing APQ's
Quaternary alkyl pyridinium (APQ) salts used in corrosion inhibitors will excite in the UV and emit in the visible range. Wilson’s instrumentation can be used to identify the presence and concentration of these intrinsically fluorescent corrosion inhibitors with a 1 ppm detection limit. The only sample preparation necessary is filtration and dilution. Fluorescence in regards to corrosion inhibitor detection provides the high accuracy of HPLC testing and better reproducibility than the chloroform extraction method.
For more information refer to Corrosion Inhibitor Residual Measurements and Wilson Analytical's CI Determination Procedure.
Corrosion Inhibitors containing Fluorescent Imidazolines
APQ-containing corrosion inhibitors could be quantified using ultraviolet-excitation fluorescence. Engenium Chemicals (Calgary, AB) has recently developed an intrinsically-fluorescent imidazoline corrosion inhibitor, which when formulated into a corrosion inhibitor package provides for fluorescent detection (with UV excitation) with similar detection limits to APQ formulations. LabBox can thus be used to identify the presence and concentration of these imidazoline-based corrosion inhibitors.
