Dinner Meetings

"Hydrocarbon Analysis - Routine Environmental Procedures vs. Advanced Fingerprinting and Forensics Analysis"

Presented by
Jim Occhialini
Alpha Analytical

Thursday September 18, 2008

Jim Occhialini, of Alpha Analytical will provide an overview of the commonly used methods for the analysis of hydrocarbons in the environment (i.e. TPH), discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure. These procedures will then be compared and contrasted to the use of advanced fingerprinting and forensics techniques that can be utilized to provide more in-depth information about the nature of the hydrocarbons present and provide additional lines of evidence to support your investigation. The individual hydrocarbon forensics analytical procedures that can be utilized will be discussed along with their potential applications.
