Added Capabilities for On-Site Measurement of Sub-ppm Oil in Water Levels  

The new Wilks (USA) InfraCal 2 Field Portable IR Analyser measures the amount of oil in water down to 0.1 ppm -- accurately, on-site and in less than 15 minutes.  It is the newest addition to the Wilks line of rugged, easy-to-use oil in water/soil analysers and provides added sensitivity and features for today’s most challenging environmental applications.  InfraCal 2 is ideal for non-technical users and will provide years of dependable, maintenance-free operation.

The InfraCal 2 IR Analyser combines improved electronics which significantly increase signal-to-noise ratio for greater performance with a touch screen intuitive display that allows for many new options and features.  These include multiple calibrations to cover a larger range of analyses, internal data logging that tags measurements with analyst, date and time, alarm functions to ensure results are acceptable, and security/password settings to avoid unauthorised changes.  InfraCal 2 is a compact, rugged package, weighing less than 6 lbs., with no moving parts and the low maintenance qualities found in other Wilks analysers.

InfraCal 2 provides improved sensitivity and detection limits for a variety of on-site oil in water measurements such as sub-ppm detection levels of oil in wastewater going into inland waterways, produced water discharges from onshore and offshore oil platforms, and cleaning efficiency of metal parts.  Models are available for use with infrared transparent solvents, as well as hexane, for the extraction process.  While designed for field applications, InfraCal 2 is equally at home in the analytical laboratory and will provide quantitative measurements easily, routinely and economically.

The new InfraCal 2 Analyser makes it economical and easier than ever to move repetitive analyses from the lab to the actual measurement site where they can be routinely handled by non-technical personnel.  On-site measurements using the InfraCal 2 Analyser take less than 15 minutes and eliminate the wait for off-site lab results which can take hours or days to receive.
