Fluid Analysis in Production for Cost Reduction and Sustainability Improvement

What was the challenge or problem to solve?

A client approached the forensic engineering team to conduct an fluid analysis in production to understand their degradation over several usage cycles. They wanted to understand the composition of the substance mix before and after its use, with the goal of devising regeneration methods to extend its useful life. The liquid matrix studied presented high complexity, demanding a detailed reverse engineering analysis to identify all its components.

The success of the project was measured by the ability to obtain accurate data, allowing effective comparison between the original compounds and those present in the sample after its use.

This information enabled the client to optimize the use of the substance in production, thereby reducing environmental impact and improving the sustainability of their processes.

How was it addressed or what was the solution?

Initially, the forensic engineering team focused on the selection of analytical techniques, relying on their internal knowledge to choose methods that would adapt to the different types of compounds according to their technical sheets.

 

 

The preparation of samples for each team and the analysis of new and used samples was the next crucial step. This process was vital to obtain detailed data on the composition of the samples.

Subsequently, a statistical analysis was conducted to compare the concentrations of the detected compounds. This analysis revealed that the liquid was losing the active and interest compounds after a number of cycles lower than expected by the client.

The results of this study allowed the client to optimize the optimal time to replace the product and therefore, optimize their production costs.
