Real-Time Heavy Metal Monitoring For Oil & Gas Operation

Large, distributed water networks are not well-suited for conventional water monitoring processes which rely on manual sampling and lab testing. In particular, this midstream oil and gas company had a need to detect Iron, Selenium, and other heavy metals at a precise level comparable to a lab. In addition, it wasn’t feasible to manually test the entire water system at the requisite frequency. Finally, instrument reliability and unplanned downtime were an issue.

The KETOS Smart Water Intelligence Solution was implemented. Read on to see how the solution remotely monitored and autonomously detected iron and selenium throughout the system.
