Case Study: a large midstream oil and gas company achieves real-time heavy metal monitoring with KETOS

Real-Time Heavy Metal Monitoring for Oil and Gas Operation

A large midstream oil and gas company faced challenges in autonomously and accurately detecting heavy metals like iron and selenium in their effluent water. Their existing instruments were unreliable and led to uncertainty in their process controls. They turned to KETOS to implement its SHIELD sensor system to address these issues.

KETOS installed its outdoor SHIELD sensor system to autonomously test water and aggregate data in its platform for automated analytics, reporting, and alerts. This provided the company with lab-accurate results in real-time. The solution led to significant cost reductions in labor, equipment, and lab testing, and increased revenue by allowing them to monetize high-quality drinking water. KETOS enabled data-driven decision-making and helped pre-empt potential compliance issues.
