Swan Analytical Instruments has introduced a new monitor for the continuous measurement of oil in water. The AMI-II Fluotrace Oil is designed to detect hydrocarbons reliably while keeping maintenance requirements to a minimum.
The instrument tracks levels of oil and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water streams in real time. This allows operators to respond quickly when contamination occurs, rather than relying on periodic sampling.
A broad range of uses
The analyser is aimed at a wide variety of applications. In addition to industrial processes, it suits environmental monitoring, marine settings and water treatment. That versatility makes it appealing to organisations operating across multiple sites or sectors.
Relevance for manufacturing
For manufacturers, reliable monitoring of process and waste water is becoming increasingly important. Tighter environmental rules and pressure to limit discharges call for measurement equipment that works accurately around the clock.
- High sensitivity for detecting low concentrations of hydrocarbons
- Continuous measurement rather than one-off samples
- Low maintenance, supporting greater operational reliability
By spotting oil contamination early, manufacturers can limit damage to equipment, avoid penalties and demonstrate compliance with their environmental obligations. The combination of sensitivity and low maintenance reflects growing demand for monitoring systems that require little intervention while still providing a dependable view of water quality.
