Online measurement of hydrocarbons is achieved via a UV-fluorescence method. UV-Fluorescence is the most sensitive method available for online measurement of hydrocarbons making it the best solution for intake protection and pollution monitoring.
A portable UV-florescence instrument can also be used for applications where online hydrocarbon analysis isn’t required.
For monitoring of gross pollution events, UV absorbance methods can be used as an alternative approach, this is particularly advantageous when the aromaticity of the hydrocarbons is unknown or variable.

Oil in water monitoring prevents contamination of cooling towers, heat exchangers and steam condensate.
UV fluorescence is the best available technology for measuring oil in water, especially so when measuring low levels of oil contamination such as in wastewater discharges, cooling water and steam condensate contamination and in intake protection applications.
Solvent extraction when carrying out oil in water analysis is no longer necessary. The simple extraction method utilised by Turner Design portable instruments eliminates the requirement to use of hexane, pentane, carbon tetrachloride or any other solvent.
