Advantages of TAUNOVATESM High-Throughput Test
TAUNOVATE High-Throughput (HTP) test method offers customers a way to achieve optimal operational performance within a more efficient time frame and with unparalleled cost savings compared to other test methods.
Customers can use HTP testing in various applications for cost-effective analysis of formulation challenges and biocide performance. Conventional American Petroleum Institute (API) testing by one technician will take customers approximately 280 hours worked and a test time of about 78 days, but the HTP test method takes approximately 12 hours, with only 16 days of total estimated test time. TAUNOVATE testing also requires a shorter incubation period—just three days, compared to the API method that calls for 28 days.
HTP testing capabilities allow for economical screening, reproducibility and comparison of a broad range of biocides in a short period of time. For example, in oil field testing of eight biocides TAUNOVATE shows savings of more than $25,000 compared to the recommended API RP-38 test.
The TAUNOVATE HTP test method is a powerful tool that allows you to get the right biocide for your formulation—at the right concentration. The result? Optimized performance with significant savings.
