Clairmont Analytical Laboratory
A new experience in laboratory analytics. We launched our in-house lab in 2022 to close the gaps we kept seeing in sample collection, preservation, hold times, and brine analysis — and to deliver the best data to guide critical business decisions.
We seek to understand your process conditions and the reasons for your analysis, recommend the testing that delivers the most valuable data, and advise on collecting and preserving process-representative samples — with ongoing support for data trending and interpretation.
Our instrumentation, calibrations, and procedures are designed for the unique aspects of brine samples. Time-sensitive parameters are analyzed promptly for the highest accuracy, because time to analysis matters.
Convenient sample kit pickup and drop-off in Grande Prairie, working directly with the people who analyze your samples, and simple, transparent billing with no extra fees for minimum billing, work-order processing, sample kits, or disposal.
A complete picture of your water using procedures built for brine samples.
Anions (Cl, NO₃, PO₄, SO₄, Br), total cations (Al, B, Ba, Ca, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Pb, S, Si, Sr, Zn), pH, alkalinity, conductivity, density, and total suspended solids.
IR spectroscopy adapted from ASTM D8193.
The IR method captures volatile fractions that a gravimetric method can lose. We use a larger sample volume and analyze directly from the container for more accurate, repeatable results.
Total or dissolved metals, on their own or alongside Essential Water Analysis.
Total or dissolved: Al, B, Ba, Ca, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Pb, S, Si, Sr, Zn — useful for trending or comparing total versus dissolved values.
Quantify microbial activity to validate treatment or flag remedial action.
Monitoring planktonic and sessile microbes helps prevent reservoir souring, microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), and injectivity decline. Customized kits support accurate field preservation.
Identify the specific bacteria present.
Used alongside ATP monitoring to troubleshoot existing challenges, proactively identify emerging problems, and support remedial recommendations.
Compare biocide performance under process-representative conditions.
On-site kill studies compare products from various vendors, identify optimized application dosages, and determine treatment efficacy so recommendations align with your objectives.
Understand and mitigate inorganic scaling risk.
Test untreated and inhibited brines at high-temperature, high-pressure conditions, measuring differential pressure over time to baseline scaling risk and optimize inhibitor selection and dosage.
From point of collection to delivered analytical data.
Sample collection, on-site analysis of critical parameters, detailed laboratory testing, and ongoing data trending and interpretation — scoped to each project.
Technical investigations and Design-of-Experiments support.
Leverage our team as an extension of yours to accelerate process troubleshooting, evaluate emerging technologies, and support Design-of-Experiments requirements.
