Portable Hydrocarbon Analyzer
The detection and measurement of petroleum hydrocarbons in
water was historically achieved by sampling followed by gas chromatography
or infrared analysis. With the advent of the Portable
Hydrocarbon Analyzer,
the world¡¯s first patented fiber optic chemical sensor (FOCSR)
built into a portable analyzer, it is now possible to measure ppm levels
of petroleum hydrocarbons in vapor or ground water via a sampling well, in
the field and in real time.
The portable hydrocarbon analyzer is designed to
meet field monitoring requirements. In the analytical mode, it gives
fast and accurate quantitative data for petroleum hydrocarbons in water
and vapor. The data correlates very well with lab gas chromatographic
analysis. In the screening mode, it offers fast relative data on petroleum
hydrocarbon contamination, tracking field gas chromatograph data for TPH,
and responds strongly to BTEX components.
