[Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Written By KECO's own, Umberto Cabarrocas   Attention all exploration and production companies operating in New Mexico! A new bill has been introduced that requires you to report the quantities of VOCs in your produced water starting January 2023. This is a significant step forward in protecting the environment and public health, but it also means that companies need to have a reliable and accurate method of measuring VOCs in real-time. KECO offers a cutting-edge VOCs in produced water analyzer that can provide you with accurate measurements in real-time, ensuring compliance with the new regulations while also improving production efficiency and reducing costs.  Why is this important? Here are four reasons why it's advantageous to use a KECO VOCs in produced water analyzer in the water line downstream of the phase separator to monitor the concentration of VOCs before the produced water is reinjected into the well:   #### 1. Compliance with Environmental Regulations The concentration of VOCs in produced water must be monitored and controlled before it is reinjected into the well to comply with environmental regulations. VOCs are harmful to the environment and can contaminate the groundwater, so it is crucial to keep their concentration within the acceptable limit. A KECO VOCs in produced water analyzer can provide accurate and reliable measurements of VOC concentration, enabling companies to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.![VOC / Hydrocarbons in Water Analyzer (Closed View)](https://liquidgasanalyzers.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/voc-hydrocarbons-in-water-analyzer-model-204-permastream-closed.jpg)   #### 2. Protection of Public Health: In addition to environmental concerns, VOCs in produced water can also be hazardous to public health. Exposure to high levels of VOCs can cause respiratory problems, headaches, nausea, and other health issues. Monitoring the concentration of VOCs before reinjection can help prevent such health hazards.   #### 3. Improved Production Efficiency The use of a VOCs in produced water analyzer can help companies optimize their production efficiency. By monitoring the concentration of VOCs, companies can identify and address any issues that may be impacting their production process. For example, high levels of VOCs may indicate a problem with the production equipment or processes, which can be addressed to improve production efficiency.   #### 4. Cost Savings Monitoring the concentration of VOCs in produced water can help companies save costs in the long run. By identifying and addressing issues related to VOCs, companies can prevent costly equipment damage or downtime. Moreover, companies can avoid fines and penalties for non-compliance with environmental regulations, which can be substantial. Overall, a VOCs in produced water analyzer can help companies operate more efficiently and cost-effectively while ensuring compliance with regulations and protecting the environment and public health.   [**Ready to take action?
