A New, Self-Cleaning Continuous On-Line Oil-in-Water Analyzer for the Petroleum Industry

The oil and gas industry produces much more water than petroleum hydrocarbons. Although the water is treated by various means to recover the maximum amount of hydrocarbons, traces remain that are too difficult or costly to completely remove. Most countries now limit the amount of oil and grease or total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) that may be discharged to the environment. Operators are required to monitor the concentrations of O&G or TPH that are released.

Advanced Sensors’ OIW monitors are continuous, on-line, self-cleaning UV fluorescence detection systems for this purpose with many advantages.
