Knowing the oil-content in the process streams, the

treatment of the resul ng waste-water can be


op mized and produc on costs can be lowered.
Historically, the measurement of the oil-content in
produced- and waste-water was either me-
consuming or required ozone deple ng CFCs as
solvents. The use of these solvents has been forbidden
or restricted by the United Na ons Montreal Protocol.
The ASTM D7678 standardized test method offers an
eco-friendly alterna ve to measure oil-in-water using
non-ozone deple ng chemicals. The patented
oil-in-water and oil-in-soil analyzer

Principles of opera on
The oil and grease content of water or soil is extracted
using cyclohexane or cyclopentane. Residual water is
captured with sodium sulfate. The water-free extract is
then analyzed with QCL Infrared Absorbance
Spectroscopy using the Oil-in-Water
analyzer. Ready-made cartridges to measure Total Oil
and Grease (TOG) or Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons
(TPH) are available.
