Rethinking water’s role in upstream oil and gas
12967
I spend a lot of time talking about water and microbes, while trying not to sound too nerdy. Those conversations happen with stakeholders across the oil and gas industry: E&P operators, production chemical service companies, frac companies, water specialists and lab mangers. I have spoken with produced-water experts across North America, from the edges of […]
Sometimes innovation in food microbiology means doing less
12971
For microbiology labs, media preparation has always involved trade-offs. Making microbiological media from scratch provides flexibility and control. But it also requires preparation time, sterilization, QC, storage, skilled labour, and consistency between batches. Our ISO/IEC 17025 food microbiology laboratory worked this way for many years before transitioning some methods to rapid and prepared media solutions. […]
Costs and consequences of contaminated e-coat fluid in automotive manufacturing
2921
Electrocoating (e-coat) is a cornerstone of modern automotive manufacturing, providing corrosion resistance and a uniform primer layer before painting. However, when the e-coat fluid becomes contaminated, the ripple effects can be severe—impacting product quality, operational efficiency and profitability.
A practical primer on using DNA-based microbial diagnostics in oil and gas operations
2753
DNA-based microbial diagnostics, such as quantitative PCR (qPCR) and next-generation sequencing (NGS), are increasingly used as routine tools in oil and gas operations. When combined with ATP testing, these methods allow operators and service companies to better understand microbial risks and apply targeted mitigation strategies as part of everyday field and facility workflows. At their […]

Seeing what other tests can’t: How EPCOR used ATP monitoring to strengthen drinking water operations
2271
For drinking water utilities, keeping biologically stable water all the way to the customer’s tap is a daily challenge. Even with strong treatment processes, changes in temperature, flow, or stagnation can trigger microbial regrowth inside the distribution system. Traditionally, operators have relied on heterotrophic plate counts (HPCs) and disinfectant residuals to flag issues, but these […]
