In Russia, they invented a new method for detecting organochlorines harmful to equipment in oil. Reported by TASS.
Organochlorine compounds (OCs) are a dangerous type of oil pollution. During processing, they can release hydrochloric acid, which leads to corrosion of expensive equipment. In this regard, the petroleum industry has adopted strict standards for the maximum allowable concentration of CHOS, but their detection in oil requires a complex procedure, several days and laboratory conditions.
Russian scientists have found a way to significantly speed up this process. “The express method, developed by the scientific group of the Siberian Institute of Physics and Technology (SPTI) TSU, allows you to determine the presence of traces in oil at a concentration level of 6-10 ppm in a few minutes. “The developers are based on the use of original semiconductor gas-sensitive sensors developed at SPTI and unique in the world.”
The created instrument is suitable for express analysis directly at the production site and during transport. The prototype of the device has already been tested on real commercial oil samples.
