The Kemtrak FL007 analyzer utilizes a unique dual fluorescence and turbidity measurement technique for
continuous monitoring of trace oil and hydrocarbon contamination in water. Water, when contaminated by
oils and hydrocarbons, will become visually turbid or “cloudy”. This turbidity can be measured and is directly
proportional to the concentration of the non-soluble organic contaminants present. This technique works well
for any oil contamination in clean water but results can be affected by entrained gas and solids present
in the stream.
Mineral oils rich in aromatic content will fluoresce when illuminated with ultraviolet light. The intensity of
this fluorescence is primarily dependent upon the polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) content of the oil.
Typical oils that fluoresce include fuel oil, crude oil, hydraulic oil and transformer oil. Each oil has its own
unique fluorescence intensity resulting from its specific PAH content. The combined fluorescence from
both dissolved and dispersed oil in water can be measured and correlated to oil content. Entrained gas
and solids present in the stream do not fluoresce and therefore do not affect the measurement.
Non-mineral oils may not fluoresce.
The Kemtrak FL007 uses a proprietary dual wavelength ratio measurement technique to simultaneously
measure fluorescence and turbidity and provides high confidence in the reported results. Automatic
compensation for color and optical window fouling maintains the measurement at a high level of reliability.
Built-in advanced diagnostics of measurement cell condition prompts when cleaning is required to ensure
trouble free operation. The FL007 can be calibrated for up to 8 specific oil types/grades. Robust inline
measurement cells with scratch resistant sapphire optics have no on-board electronics or moving parts
and are suitable for hazardous area use. A native graphical network based interface allows remote operation,
calibration, validation and data trending through standard web browsers.
