Oil in Water Analyzer

The Oil in Water Monitor to detect oil spills:

Oils and hydrocarbons are very often the main components of byproducts formed during the manufacture of fuels, solvents, and chemicals, that occur from their treatment process. In industrial production it is possible that some of these hydrocarbons, oils and solvents leak into drains, or worse leak directly into the environment.

Similarly domestic and agricultural fuel storage can result in accidental spills into water courses and aquifers.
This can be a devastating problem for water supplies and, in the worst case, threaten the water security of whole communities. Often, these accidents result in heavy fines and expensive clean-up operations.
An Oil in Water Analyzer can make the difference, by giving an early warning when a problem arises.

The MS1700 is an on-line oil in water monitor designed to detect and measure hydrocarbon concentrations in water up to 100 mg/l in industrial processes, refineries and petrochemical complexes.
Using a state of the art contactless technology the MS1700 provides a solution that is not affected by turbidity and can detect all the volatile hydrocarbons independently from their fluorescence properties.

Oil in cooling water: Hydrocarbons are an ever present class of compounds found in industrial processes, factories and manufacturing. A leaking piece of equipment, corroded heat exchanger, leaking diesel pump or simply an accidental spill can mean that cooling water gets contaminated with hydrocarbons. The MS1700 Oil in Water Analyzer can detect this contamination in the cooling water early on before it creates any major issues.

Phenols: Phenols are widely used in industry as one of the starting materials to produce plastics, explosives and drugs. However, they can be harmful for the environment and companies that deal with phenols need to comply with very strict emission limits.

Influent water: Wherever water and hydrocarbons get mixed together in a process (refineries, petrochemical processes etc.) some form of water treatment is required to remove the hydrocarbons before it can be used further down in the process or discharged into the environment.

The MS1900 is an on-line Oil in Water analyzer designed to provide continuous measurement of VOCs in industrial and trade effluent discharge points.

Industrial Effluent: The Problem
Discharge of VOCs into wastewater is an endemic problem in engineering, chemical processing, food and beverage production, and other industrial processes. Spills can lead to illegal discharges, pollution, fines and PR disasters.
For this reason, some industrial facilities have purification plants to remove the bulk of these contaminants from the water before it is discharged, but even these suffer from failures and can be over run.

The cost of not monitoring your effluent
When spills occur, heavy fines issued by the EPA can turn into a PR disaster with long-term implications. Additionally regulatory bodies could then mandate that expensive TOC analyzers be installed, which require reagents and maintenance at a very high additional cost.

The Solution:
By installing a VOC Industrial Effluent Discharge Monitor at the effluent, you can be notified as soon as the values start to increase and take appropriate action, avoiding all the problems associated with unexpected pollution events. The VOC Industrial Effluent Discharge Monitor is used to check the effluent from industrial facilities and business premises to ensure that it is complying with environmental regulations. Its contactless measurement technique means that:

• It does not need reagents
• Requires little or no maintenance between services
• It’s robust and reliable
• It is cost effective

Thanks to this analyzer you can monitor your effluent discharge and make sure that you detect promptly any problem, avoiding expensive fines and PR disasters.The system comprises the analyzer and the sampling system. As the water goes through the sampling tank, VOCs dissolved in the water move into the gas phase.This gas is then continuously analyzed and the VOCs concentration in the water is determined. For applications where drains are being monitored the MS1800 can be used to directly sample gases on the drain. This provides a lower cost solution but reduces absolute accuracy.
