Application

Application – There are tight regulations on the amounts of oil allowed in water and with this comes large fines if these are exceeded. The oil and petroleum industry has a responsibility to analyse the TOG (Total Oils and Greases) in their upstream and downstream waste water. The FluidInspectIR® –  Oil in water Analyser allows the customer to measure samples in the field within 5 minutes of sampling. The usual extraction method of oil in water is by pre-mixing with a known solvent (tetrachloroetheylene)and extracting a sample of oil/solvent to be measured on the analyser.

How To Use – Approximately 2-3ml of the sample mixture is dispensed via a syringe into a flow-cell cuvette  (Transmission) and the flow-cell placed into the analyser.  The measurement is started from the software. After about 30s the measured parameters of the sample will be displayed. The user can add traffic light specification (green/yellow/red) limits to aid the interpretation of the results.
