| The
ability to analytically quantify oil in water is greatly
enhanced with the Sample Transfer Stripper (Patented
Membrane Technology) and the solid state sensor offered by
Analytical Systems International (ASI). The analyzer system
utilizes many patented and exclusive features only available
from ASI. The principle
of operation requires a consistent free flowing liquid
sample into a Sample Transfer Stripper unit that separates
the liquids from the VOCs in the oil. A hydrocarbon free,
consistently flowing air carrier then sweeps the VOC
components from the oil in a gaseous form into the solid
state sensor for quantitative analysis in ppb w, ppm w, or
up to saturation levels. An optional patented liquid
validation/calibration by Perm Tube is available. This
unattended on-line analysis is economically superior to
inaccurate laboratory analyzers where unstable grab samples
result in oil deterioration that produce analytical errors.
Downtime is reduced to less than 10% of the El Paso, TOC or
Sparger methods and the economic pay out is increased
because of reduced product loss. In one case, 12,000 pounds
of product loss per day was quickly identified by this
proven and accurate on-line analytical method.
Applications include the
analysis of VOCs and oil in water for cooling towers, heat
exchangers, holding ponds, run off water, and waste water. |
