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 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.

Software

LightPilot is our own software, included with the LabBox spectrometer system. It has three modes of operation that are demonstrated in the
playlist:


Control Mode for creating & modifying calibration curves


Aquisition Mode for measuring samples


Review Mode to display, review, and print data
