Improved oil in water measurements.

Significant steps have been taken to improve oil in water measurements. Systems from Advanced Sensors have been able to operate in the field for many years with zero maintenance. IMA can support their claim to be the world's best oil in water analyser. Besides monitoring oil in water from low ppb to 20,000 ppm, the EX-1000M can automatically determine the type of oil that is being detected, as well as making 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.

Microscopy

oil and solids in water measurement

The video microscopy on both the EX-100M and the EX-1000M converts the system to monitor oil, gas and solids in one system, and also 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.

A digital camera with a magnification lens is used to capture an image. The image is then processed to find objects of interest such as oil droplets, solids and gas. Classification of particles is defined initially by sharpness and shape. Gas and oil tend to have high shape factors (spherical) where solids are less regular in shape. Gas can be distinguished from oil as it has a lower contrast in its centre than oil droplets.

A number of samples are taken and averaged to provide data for the three particle types when processed for statistical reports of particle size and total particle volume.
