On-Site TPH in Soil Measurements in Less Than 10-15 Minutes with Portable Infrared Analysers

On-site analysis of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration levels in soil are easily handled using the InfraCal TOG/TPH Analysers manufactured by Wilks Enterprise (USA). The InfraCal TOG/TPH Analysers are portable infrared (IR) analysers that quickly determine TPH levels in less than 10-15 minutes, including the extraction. Concentrations as low as 10 ppm to well over 10,000 - 20,000 ppm can be easily and accurately measured. Models are available for use with various extracting solvents such as S-316, hexane and perchloroethylene.

InfraCal TOG/TPH Analysers are ideal for soil testing at remediation sites such as leaking underground storage tanks and produced water evaporation ponds. Site managers can obtain on-site measurements and eliminate the need to wait for off-site lab results and save costly down time for remediation equipment.

InfraCal TOG/TPH Analysers are portable (weighing under 5 lbs and operable from a 12 volt power supply) and read out directly in parts per million (ppm) or mg/kg. Sampling requires a few simple steps and can be performed by non-technical personnel.
