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

The InfraCal 2 IR Analysers combine improved electronics which significantly increase signal-to-noise ratio with a touch screen intuitive display that allows for a multitude of new options and features – including multiple calibrations, internal data logging, alarm functions, security/password protection, and data transfer capabilities. The result 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 inland water, wastewater discharges effluents 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, InCal 2 is equally at home in the analytical laboratory and will provide quantitative measurements easily, routinely and economically.

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