I think that it’s a good check for the field or a lab doing methanol in oil analyses to understand export oil quality.

We found CoMic™ very simple to operate. Having a LUX Assure specialist on-site for the deployment was great as it meant any questions could be answered straight away.

We received excellent customer service from the team at LUX Assure, both pre- and post-deployment.

The CoMic™ technology was simple and easy to use and we would like to deploy it at another site.

Statoil has tested CoMic™ in our corrosion lab in Porsgrunn to evaluate if the technology could be used in our fields. Four different corrosion inhibitors were analysed by CoMic to find the CMC for each inhibitor. Residual corrosion inhibitor concentration was used to find the actual corrosion inhibitor concentration at CMC. In parallel corrosion tests were carried out to find the optimum inhibitor concentration for corrosion protection. The CoMic™ analysis and the corrosion tests gave the same optimal inhibitor concentration for each of the inhibitors even if the concentration was different for the different products (30, 30, 50 and 120 ppm). Based on these results CoMic™ is evaluated as a good tool for optimization of corrosion inhibitor concentration in the field and is recommended to be used in several of our fields.

I was intrigued by the CoMic™ concept. LUX have been extremely professional in their contact with me and I have been impressed by the quality and timeliness of their work.

We have found the interaction with LUX and the testing of the production water to be very good and with no issues.

We are very happy with the MEG kit and the customer service response has been excellent.

I think the methods would be an excellent replacement for GC as GC has associated maintenance issues and user experience issues.

Overall, kits were well packaged and procedures easy to follow with good diagrams. Equipment fit for purpose and of a good size for limited space available. Good communications.

Good compact size with small footprints for smaller labs.

Instructions comprehensive and easy to follow.

To evaluate the new colorimetric method, both methods (the GC and the LUX method) were used to analyze a series of blind samples. The results show that the LUX method is as accurate as the GC method while using equipment that is less expensive and much easier to operate and maintain.
