Oil in water Analyzer
It measures the optical absorption of the sample at a certain wavelength in comparison to zero absorption condition at the same wavelength
Theory of operation
•Optical energy emitted from the source lamp in the source module pass through the sample cell and received by the sensor which converts the optical energy to pulses of electrical energy
•The result sample pulses are compared at the control unit to reveal the measurable difference between the optical absorption of the sample at a selected wavelength and the zero absorption condition
•The magnitude of that difference represents the concentration of the component of interest in the sample•The photo detector converts the photo energy into electrical energy,
The automated analysis system includes a single beam, dual wavelength, UV photometric analyzer that compensates for turbidity, algae, cell window coatings, and other optical attenuation. Attenuation of energy transmission by turbidity and cell window deposits can then be distinguished from absorption despite the presence of oil. With sample conditioning and automatic zeroing, our analyzers produce a truly representative solution for analysis and can compensate for background absorption found in most oil-in-water applications.
A reference signal is generated at a selected wavelength region where oil does not absorb significantly. This signal is effected by the aforementioned interference as well as by absorption due to the presence of oil.
The UV measuring band (centered at 254 nanometers) is extremely narrow to avoid side-band interference.
Homogenizer To assure accuracy, a unique conditioning system delivers a sample representative of the true oil content of the stream. A continuous ultrasonic homogenizer disperses all suspended oil droplets and oil absorbed into foreign matter so the sample, to the analyzer, appears to be uniform and in true solution.
