Infrared Analyzers for On-Site Measurement of Oil/Grease Levels in Water and Soil

The InfraCal TOG/TPH Analyzers are highlighted in a new data sheet recently published by Wilks Enterprise (USA). These analyzers are specifically designed for easy, on-site infrared measurement of total oil and grease (TOG), total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH), and fat, oil and grease (FOG) concentration levels in water and soil samples. The InfraCal TOG/TPH Analyzers are used worldwide for analyzing produced water on off-shore platforms or wastewater in refineries, industrial plants or treatment facilities and soil studies at remediation sites or around underground storage tanks. Typical analysis time is under 15 minutes, including extraction process.

The InfraCal TOG/TPH Analyzers have been used by the Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF) to evaluate performance of grease interceptors and their effect on wastewater, by the ASTM to develop Method D 7066-04, and by numerous companies to meet new European discharge regulations. InfraCal TOG/TPH models are available for use with a wide variety of extracting solvents such as hexane, pentane, Vertrel MCA, Freon, hydrocarbon-free grade of perchloroethylene, S-316 or AK-225.

All InfraCal analyzers are portable (operable from a 12 volt dc power supply) and weigh less than 5 lbs. Pushbutton, user-friendly operation makes them easy to use with minimal training. The analyzers can read out in infrared absorption values or they can be calibrated to display concentrations directly in any desired format such as ppm or milligram/kg. A wide range of accessories, such as printer and carrying case increase the versatility and capabilities of the Infracal TOG/TPH Analyzer.
