Hach has developed a new Hydraulic Fracturing Water Analysis Kit. Offering on-site results, the easy-to-use kit is housed in a rugged, portable case. It covers key parameters critical to water analysis in oil and gas applications, including source water, fracturing fluid, flowback water, produced water, drilling fluids and enhanced oil recovery. The company’s chemists have developed, tested and published step-by-step procedures designed specifically for samples encountered in hydraulic fracturing water applications with extended concentration ranges for critical parameters.

TOC analyzer
The QuickTOC condensate is an on-line measurement system for the fast and precise determination of TOC in pure water of industrial processes. Inert materials guarantee accurate and offset-free measuring results up to 2000 ppb. The analyzer is calibrated and validated by LAR’s patented and ready-at-any-time Quick Calibration - without any contamination and downtime in contrast to liquid standards. Basis of this innovative method is the patented catalyst-free high-temperature method at 1,200°C, whereby the total carbon is oxidized completely.
