A Micro Total Analysis System (μTAS) for the , Real-Time Tracking of Produced Water Discharges through Detection of PAHs and Other Aromatic Compounds.

Here, we present a novel micro Total Analysis System (μTAS) for the measurement of poly cyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and other aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs) in water at ng/L levels and in real time (IMiRO). The μTAS is based on in-line membrane extraction followed by detection of extracted aromatic substances with fluorescence. An offshore field demonstration of the method was conducted close to produced water (PW) discharged in the North Sea.
