Measuring Oil/Grease Levels in Wastewater To Help Oil/Gas Industry Comply with Permit Discharge Requirements

Determining total oil/grease levels to ensure compliance with governmental regulatory permit requirements for discharging wastewater is a worldwide problem facing all segments of the oil and gas industry.   To ensure compliance with these regulations and avoid fines for exceeding permit discharge levels, more frequent wastewater measurements are necessary to determine the total oil/grease concentration. Wilks Enterprise, Inc. (USA) manufactures portable infrared analysers that are specifically designed for easy, on-site measurement of the oil/grease concentration and can be used by non-technical personnel.

Over 2,000 InfraCal TOG/TPH Analysers are currently in worldwide use helping the oil and gas industry analyze produced water on off-shore and on-shore oil platforms, monitor refinery plant wastewater effluents, and measure discharge levels into treatment centers. They provide the assurance that oil/grease content of the wastewater will meet the various regulatory requirements.
