Measurement and Testing
Portable IR Analysers for Highly Regulated Oil in Water Measurements in the Petroleum Industry
The Petroleum Industry – both offshore and onshore -- has regulations that limit the amount of oil in discharged water. Fixed filter infrared (IR) analysers have been used to test oil levels in produced water on drilling platforms for over 45 years. On oil rigs where real estate is at a premium, infrared analysers such as the Wilks (USA) InfraCal Analysers are compact (typically 6 inches or 15 cm square, weighing less than 5 or 6 lbs) and rugged enough to withstand salt air and a rustic lab set up. The operation can be done by non-technical personnel in less than 15 minutes. Infrared methods also match well with onshore laboratory testing, making it a reliable way to keep effluent levels under the regulated amount.
Both the InfraCal Model HATR-T2 and new InfraCal 2 ATR-SP, use hexane, pentane or Vertrel MCA for the extraction process. Measurement data from either model will correlate to EPA Method 1664 as both procedures are based on evaporation techniques and measuring the residual oil and grease. They are equipped with a built-in cubic zirconia horizontal attenuated total reflection (HATR) stainless-steel sample stage on which the extract is deposited for analysis. The sample preparation takes a few simple steps and the ppm hydrocarbon result is obtained in less than 15 minutes. The InfraCal Model HATR-T2 has a minimum detectable limit of 8 ppm oil in water and the InfraCal 2 ATR-SP will measure down to 0.3 ppm.
The InfraCal Model CVH and new InfraCal 2 Model TRANS-SP are based on US EPA Methods 413.2 and 418.1 and ASTM D7066-04, which uses Freon 113, perchloroethylene, or S-316, as the extracting solvent. Since the oil concentration is measured directly in the solvent, light end volatile components are retained, making it ideal for gas condensate measurements. The sample preparation takes a few simple steps and the result is obtained in less than 10 minutes. The InfraCal Model CVH has a minimum detectable limit of 2 ppm oil in water. It was one of the instruments used to develop the ASTM D7066 oil in water method. The InfraCal 2 TRANS-SP will measure down to 0.1ppm.

New ASTM Standard Test Method Certifies Capabilities of Handheld Infrared Oil Analysis Technology

Sub-ppm to Percent Oil in Water/Soil Measurements… Wilks has the solution.
Get results accurately, easily and on-site in under 15 minutes with an InfraCal Analyzer!
On October 1, 2013, ASTM International approved Test Method D7889, “Standard Test Method for Field Determination of In-Service Fluid properties using IR Spectroscopy.” The approval represents official confirmation that the FluidScan handheld infrared oil analysis technology from Spectro Inc. (USA) meets ASTM guidelines for the analysis of in-service lubricants.
The FluidScan method provides direct, immediate measurement of multiple lubricant condition parameters via Spectro’s patented Direct Infrared Spectroscopy (DIR) technology. DIR operates without wet chemistry and requires no solvents; only one drop of oil is needed for analysis. Spectro employs FluidScan technology in its Q1000 and Q1100 portable fluid condition monitors that permit real-time, on-site evaluation of critical lubricant characteristics.
To gain certification of the FluidScan method as a worldwide fluid field analysis standard, Spectro worked with ASTM Committee D02.96 for In- Service Lubricant Testing and Condition Monitoring Services to develop the D7889 Standard Test Method.
Test Method D7889 specifically describes the way the FluidScan process measures soot, anti-wear additive, oxidation, nitration and sulfation. Performance levels published in D7889 for those in-service fluid properties (measured by repeatability tests) show that FluidScan analysis provides the measurements at levels comparable to established FTIR methods. In essence, the Test Method covers six existing FTIR In-Service Test Methods for lubricant analysis. Additionally, D7889 discusses the use of a FluidScan device to provide acid/base data, water content and other relevant parameters, and also establishes ASTM guidelines for creating infrared calibrations.
Spectro Inc. president and CEO Brian Mitchell said, “FluidScan is a powerful, easy-to-use tool for field personnel seeking immediate on-site oil condition information. With the ASTM’s approval of Test Method D7889, users of FluidScan analysis around the world can be confident that the method meets established ASTM standards.”
