Oil in Water and Sand in Water Analyser for Side Stream Measurements

Systems from Advanced Sensors represent significant improvements in oil in water measurements. These systems have been able to operate in the field for many years with no maintenance. IMA can support their claim to be the world's best oil in water analyser. The EX-1000M can monitor oil in water from low ppb to 20,000 ppm, and can automatically determine the type of oil that is being detected. It can also make solids measurements such as sand content of water. Both of these features are useful in monitoring water pollution. The use of an automatic ultrasonic cleaning method allows the EX-1000M to provide reliable and accurate measurements for many years without requiring maintenance or consumables, making the operating costs for these systems extremely low. Many users have reported zero maintenance over several years. The EX-100M provides an oil in water measurement via a UV fluorescence technique, while the EX-1000M includes an integral spectrum analyser. Data is logged once a second, and there is sufficient storage for 10 years of data that can be displayed quickly and easily on the graphical user interface. Video microscopy on both the EX-100M and the EX-1000M allows solids and oil droplets to be monitored for size and quantity, greatly enhancing the usefulness of the analyser when applied to either produced fluids or produced water for re-injection. Water composition can also be monitored using the EX-1000M. Specific process chemicals within the water can be monitored, and if the water composition changes outside of user determined limits, an alarm will alert operators. Another unique feature of the EX-1000M is the ability to correct for different oil types. The individual spectra for different oils can be determined by the spectrometer, and correct measurement calibration can then be applied to report an accurate oil in water ppm level.
