Wilks Enterprise Inc. Information

Wilks Enterprise, founded in 1995, specializes in rugged, easy-to-use, portable application-specific mid-infrared analyzers for on-site measurements – to enable the analysis to be moved out of the traditional analytical laboratory to the actual analysis site – i.e. manufacturing plant, petroleum terminal, oil drilling platform, mobile lab -- virtually anywhere the analysis is needed. All Wilks analyzers are designed to be operated by non-technical personnel, but are equally at home and useful in the analytical laboratory. The oil and gas industry is a primary market – both upstream and down-stream for such applications as measuring the oil and grease levels in produced water on drilling platforms, oil content in FRAC water, hydrocarbons in wastewater effluents from refineries, TPH in soil at remediation sites, and blend measurements for ethanol in gasoline and biodiesel in diesel fuel. In addition, Wilks analyzers and spectrometers are used in various other types of industries for wastewater analysis, ambient air monitoring of SF6 as a tracer gas and for ASHRAE 110 testing of fume hoods, monitoring refrigerant gases in submarines, measuring anesthetic gases in hospitals, material verification of liquid compounds, antioxidant levels in transformers, and soot levels in diesel engine lubricating oils, and flexible film analysis. In October 2013, Wilks was acquired by SpectroScientific -- a leading Massachusetts-based developer and manufacturer of analytical tools and software for the industrial performance fluids market. Wilks is proud to be part of the Spectro family as there is excellent synergy between product lines and industries serviced. In addition, Wilks and Spectro share a common goal of providing customers with easy-to-use analytical solutions for practical on-site measurements. Our combined solutions move the analysis out of the laboratory to the field where non-technical personnel can perform measurement easily, accurately and quickly.
