48 Measurement and Testing Oxygen Sensors for Use in Hazardous Areas
SST Sensing (UK) designs and manufactures a unique range of failsafe Zirconium Dioxide Oxygen Sensors. The sensors of choice are easily calibrated and resistant to carbon and other pollutant deposits.
They are accurate to within a fraction of a percent of reading, robust and reliable enough that they have been used for many years on a wide variety of applications including boiler controllers, processing plants, vehicle emissions and aircraft. The fully porous, stainless steel cap allows a free flow of the gases to reach the sensor, while trapping any soot or debris which might lead to sensor malfunction. SST’s sensors have a long life even in badly regulated combustion processes before dirt and pollution has any effect.
Reader Reply Card No 139 Industrial Hydrocarbon Leak Detection
Following recent environmental disasters relating to oil storage tanks, many industries are pushed to equip their facilities with oil spill detectors for safety reasons or to comply with the regulations.
In refineries, storage facilities and airports, hydrocarbons are stored in tanks. Most of them are equipped with a retaining pool which can fill up with rain water.
A detector is usually installed at the lowest point of this retaining pool to detect any pollutants, just before discharge.
For over 20 years, Néréïdes (France) has supplied solutions to detect leakage in the retaining pools, surrounding the storage tanks to retain the oil in case of overflow, leakage or mishandling.
Simple, robust and selective; the Oilspy detector can easily be linked to fire or gas detection systems. Néréïdes offers many accessories and can customise them to fit the customer’s application. In the event of a hydrocarbon-related leak, it will trigger an alarm to ensure rapid intervention, thus avoiding disaster and high cleaning costs.

AppliTek (Belgium), recently added a new application to its existing analyser portfolio for Petrol & Gas applications. Refinery operators can now quantify and control exactly the desalting process by the continuous determination of salt in crude oil.
Crude oil desalters carry the important task to remove inorganic salts, water and sediment from the oil feedstock. Without these, chlorides generated would cause severe corrosion of pipe walls, heat exchanger tubes and shell, and other carbon steel components in which they come in contact during processing. Desalting is a continuous and difficult process and typically achieved by creating a water/oil emulsion.

Controlling the interface level inside the desalter, however, is typically done by interface level measurements that are not always that correct and requires skilled operators. AppliTek’s state of the art UPA®
multiparameter analyser platform is
perfectly fitted for this task and enables to monitor precisely the critical process parameters such as CaCl and MgCl in the crude oil. On top of that, benefits of the salt content control become self-evident further in the downstream processing to prevent poisoning of catalysts.
Measurements of AppliTek’s new on-line monitoring system are conform with ASTM D3230 - 09 Standard Test Method for Salts in Crude Oil.
