Detect & Measure Low Oil Concentrations in Water

New Standard for High-Sensitivity Water Testing: Trace Oil Detection at 0.2 PPM & Below

The OSS ClearShot Extraction Oil in Water Method is Ideally Suited for Low Oil Concentration Applications

The OSS ClearShot method provides operators and users with the necessary tools to measure low oil concentrations without the hurdles present when using prior methods. It is ideally suited for low oil concentration systems, such as wastewater, process water, residual oil systems, drinking water and other process control applications. Product performance requirements and consumer demand are leading to oil measurements in the 0.2 ppm range and below. With the OSS method, 13 mm ClearShot Extractors are utilized to capture and retain even the lowest oil concentrations so that they can be accurately measured.

Challenges of Traditional Low-Oil Concentration Detection Methods

Measuring low oil concentration in water has historically been very difficult. Methods require significant investment in expensive equipment that are coupled with tedious and complex processes for determining concentrations. Traditional methods require too much solvent, do not have the accuracy and are too time consuming and costly. The result being that measuring low oil concentrations was left to costly external labs with delayed results or to very expensive equipment requiring highly skilled operators.

Why ClearShot™ Outperforms Traditional Methods in Solving the Complexity of Low-Concentration Oil

  • Measures Low Concentrations
  • Solvent Free Method
  • Fast, Precise & Reliable
  • Economical Cost Savings
  • No Hazardous Waste
  • Safe & Simple Procedure
  • Oil Identification

Case Study
