Abstract:
While laboratory testing methods for water composition are available, they are expensive, typically designed for low salinity water, and have a long sample turnaround. Legacy field kits are often complicated, require caustic chemicals, and suffer from interferences. A new portable, rapid, and user friendly system has been developed and deployed for testing complex, high salinity waters. This paper will describe the equipment development, testing methodology, and blind trial testing of the new system, with case histories and discussion of the issues of water testing in the field.
