OilGuard – Oil Trace Monitor from Sigrist-Photometer AG

The OilGuard from Sigrist-Photometer AG, Switzerland, offers a wide range of applications like produced water monitoring in off-shore locations, monitoring for leakages and oil traces in waste water, surveillance of condensate or cooling water in heat exchangers, monitoring of oil incidents in potable water.

The instrument has been developed in close cooperation with the customers and is the result of more than 40 years experience with on-line Oil-in-Water monitoring systems. This photometer combines proven UV-Fluorescence technique with valuable features for an easy and reliable operation. These features include a proven contact-less measurement which drastically reduces regular maintenance requirements and allows unattended operation over several weeks. A closed flow cell is available for clean media such as condensate or for the monitoring of oil leakage into cooling water.

The dual-beam optics automatically compensates for the effects of light source ageing, temperature changes, etc. and guarantees long-term stability. The quick response and high sensitivity of the continuous measurement classifies the OilGuard as a valuable monitor to react immediately to process malfunctions or accidents.

User-specific calibration to as many as 8 oil grades allows using the OilGuard as reporting instrument to quantify the amount of oil; calibration can be done and adjusted on site. Servicing of the flow cell and calibration checks can be carried out without switching off the power supply.

The unit is available in standard or with Ex-p IIC protection and offers the choice of different materials for the measuring cell housing to accommodate for the requirements of the application.
