Infrared Analysis Provides Accurate, On-Site Oil in Produced Water Measurements
East Norwalk, CT- – As offshore oil wells age, the increase of produced water challenges wastewater treatment systems. In order to ensure oil levels in the water are under the regulatory limit, it is important to do regular testing.- Infrared (IR) analysis has been used for offshore oil in water measurements for over 45 years and is an accepted oil content measurement since it is least...
Read More »Field Portable IR Analyzer measures oil in water levels.
With InfraCal 2 Analyzer, users can measure oil in water down to 0.1 ppm, on-site and in less than 15 minutes. Touchscreen display allows for many options and features, including multiple calibrations to cover large range of analyses; internal data logging that tags measurements with analyst, date, and time; alarm functions to ensure results are acceptable; and security/password settings to avoid...

Used to measure biodiesel in diesel, InfraCal 2 offers internal data storage and ability to periodically transfer data serially or via Flash drive. Electronics that optimize SNR, along with calibration scheme that aids in obtaining accurate zero, promote stability and repeatability, while multiple calibration capability lets users have calibrations for- various types of diesel fuel. Touchscreen...
Read More »Portable IR Analyzers Provide Petroleum & Wastewater Industries with Accurate Oil Content Measurements
Fixed filter infrared (IR) analyzers have been used to test oil levels in produced water on off-shore and on-shore drilling platforms for well over 45 years. U.S. EPA methods 418.1 and 413.2 were used extensively on a worldwide basis until the Montreal Protocol called for Freon (the solvent used in the analysis) to be phased out. Infrared analysis using tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene) is...
