Portable infrared spectrophotometric oil analyzers measure oil content in various samples using infrared light absorption. Organic compounds in oils, like hydrocarbons, absorb specific infrared wavelengths, allowing precise quantification. The ERUN-SP3-J4A, for instance, offers a portable, integrated design for on-site testing, making it ideal for environmental monitoring and industrial applications. Unlike traditional lab-based methods, these devices are user-friendly, fast, and don’t require extensive sample prep.
Key Features:
These analyzers align with standards like EPA Method 1664 for oil and grease analysis, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
Environmental monitoring demands quick, reliable data to address pollution incidents. Portable infrared analyzers, like the ERUN-SP3-J4A, excel in detecting oil in surface water, groundwater, and industrial wastewater. Their ability to perform on-site sampling and automatic extraction saves time, especially during emergency spills.
Benefits:
A 2023 study in Environmental Science & Technology showed portable infrared analyzers reduced detection time by 40% compared to lab methods, critical for real-time decision-making in spill response.
Infrared oil analyzers operate on the principle of infrared spectroscopy. Oil molecules absorb specific infrared wavelengths, reducing light intensity detected by the instrument. By comparing initial and final light intensity, the device calculates oil concentration.
Process:
The ERUN-SP3-J4A’s integrated optical system ensures stability, even in mobile conditions, with a repeatability of RSD ≤0.6%.
In 2024, a coastal oil spill in California required rapid response. Environmental teams used the ERUN-SP3-J4A to analyze water samples on-site. The device’s 30-second scan time enabled quick identification of oil concentrations, guiding cleanup efforts. Results aligned with U.S. EPA standards, ensuring regulatory compliance.
A manufacturing plant in Texas adopted the ERUN-SP3-J4A to monitor wastewater for oil content. The analyzer’s ability to detect mineral and vegetable oils helped the plant reduce emissions by 25%, meeting Clean Water Act standards.
Portable infrared analyzers serve diverse industries:
| Industry | Application | Benefit |
