Portable infrared (IR) analyser quickly determines total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) levels at remediation sites or around underground storage tanks in less than 10-15 minutes, including extraction
On-site analysis of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration levels in soil, using S-316 instead of Freon for the extraction process as recently approved by the ASTM, is easily handled using the Infracal TOG/TPH analyser, model CVH, says manufacturer Wilks Enterprise.
The Infracal TOG/TPH analyser is a portable infrared (IR) analyser that quickly determines TPH levels in less than 10-15 minutes, including extraction.
Concentration as low as 20ppm, to well over 5000ppm, can be easily measured.
The InfraCal CVH was used to help develop the new ASTM method D 7066-04 which approves the use of dimer/trimer of chlorotrifluoroethylene (S-316) for analysis of recoverable oil and grease and nonpolar material in soil by infrared determination.
The Infracal TOG/TPH analyser is portable (2.2kg, operating from a 12V power supply), direct reading, and microprocessor-controlled with simple pushbutton operation for easy use.
It requires minimal training or knowledge of infrared analytical techniques.
The Infracal TOG/TPH analyser is said to be ideal for TPH-in-soil measurements at remediation sites or around underground storage tanks.
