Offshore trials of the technology were funded by a North Sea operator which needed a quick and simple method to determine MEG levels. Support for the project was also provided by the Scottish government through its SMART Scotland programme.
“Commercialisation work on our other technologies is continuing and we intend to launch our next product ...for the large corrosion monitoring market soon,” said Emma Perfect, the company's managing director.
