Description
The OPAL-105 Aldehyde and Alcohol Analysis System is a precision benchtop Raman spectrometer engineered for rapid, quantitative measurement of simple aldehydes, alcohols, biocides, and hydrate inhibitors in oilfield waters, gas gathering lines, and industrial chemical processes. Utilizing solid-state Quantitative Raman Spectroscopy (QRS), the OPAL-105 provides laboratory-grade molecular quantification down to ppm levels directly on-site—eliminating hazardous derivatization steps, gas chromatography bottlenecks, and toxic colorimetric reagent kits.
- Oilfield Biocide Monitoring: Rapid quantification of active glutaraldehyde and tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium sulfate (THPS) in fracturing fluids, waterflood operations, and produced water systems.
- Gas Hydrate Inhibition: Direct measurement of methanol (CH3OH) and monoethylene glycol (MEG) in raw natural gas liquids and pipeline condensates.
- Formaldehyde Speciation: Accurate ppm-level detection of free formaldehyde residuals in H2S scavenger applications and industrial resins.
- Ketone Analysis (Optional): Expanded method capabilities available for acetone and methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) in industrial solvent streams.
- Interference Resistance: High tolerance to salinity, dissolved solids, and background hydrocarbon carryover in oilfield waters.
- OPAL Benchtop Spectrometer: Solid-state Raman optical measurement unit with enclosed sample measurement port.
- Universal AC Power Adapter: 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power supply with standard IEC power cord.
- USB Data Interface Cable: High-speed shielded connection to host PC or laptop.
- OndaVia Raman Controller Software: Instrument communication, automated aldehyde/alcohol quantification, and reporting license.
- Calibration Verification Standard: Reusable solid-state optical standard for routine QA/QC verification.
- Documentation: Operating manual, factory certificate of calibration, and quick-start guide.
