Human Practices

For human practices the University of Calgary team took a few approaches this year. We searched past and present legislation to find how the various levels of government mandate the regulation of naphthenic acids. This culminated in a report that is summarized below. The full report can be found here.
Component | FTIR | Biosensor |
---|---|---|
Instrumentation | Specific, expensive, stationary | Non-specific, inexpensive, transportable |
Location of Analysis | Offsite analytics lab | On-site trailer/temporary building |
Analyst Training | Extensive | Minimal |
Sample Preparation | Significant organic extraction process | Little to none |
Time Required for Results | 5 buisness days | Less than 24 hours |
Cost | $195/sample | To be determined, comparatively inexpensive |
Accuracy | Very accurate | To be determined |
Quantified molecular group | Carboxylic acid groups | To be determined |
