OIL WATER INTERFACE METER

    applications > oil water interface measurement, supernatant/subnatant level measurement

A portable instrument similar to that of a water level indicator but characterised by an optical probe that signals the presence of a pollutant (usually a hydrocarbon) that usually floats on the surface of the groundwater or is deposited below it.

When the probe is lowered into the well, an IR sensor is used to determine the presence of the product (usually a hydrocarbon) at the depth indicated on the special millimetric cable, while a conductivity sensor identifies the underlying water level. The passage between the two means is indicated by transition from a continuous tone ("product" or oil) to a pulsing tone (water).
