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 |
