Oil In Water Sensor

SRK's oil in water sensor is a non-contact sensor that detects oil in water in real time. It uses the natural fluorescence of oil to identify a wide range of substances — from marine diesel to vegetable oil to jet fuel — and alerts you immediately when contamination is detected.

Oil detection is a critical requirement across a wide range of industries. SRK offers equipment capable of monitoring borehole water down to ppb levels, as well as equipment for detecting oil slicks on the surface of open water. Common applications include airport runoff monitoring, boiler condensate testing, and drinking water inlet protection.

Oils and hydrocarbons are major components of many products, from fuels and solvents to a wide range of industrial process chemicals. During industrial production, some of these hydrocarbons, oils, and solvents can leak into sewer systems or, in more serious cases, directly into the environment. Similarly, domestic and agricultural fuel storage can lead to accidental spills into waterways and aquifers.

In the oil industry, a single ton of spilled oil can quickly spread across a slick covering an area of approximately 10,000 sq. m. SRK's over-water oil sensors are carefully calibrated to detect oil accurately while minimising false alarms. While the average oil slick thickness is around 0.1 mm, our sensors are capable of detecting oil films as thin as 0.001 mm.

Oil in water analysers provide significant value by delivering early warning of contamination as it occurs, allowing operators to respond quickly before problems escalate.
