PetroSense PHA-100 portable hydrocarbon analyser

Click2Contact

Available to rent, the PetroSense PHA-100 portable hydrocarbon analyser benefits time-conscious individuals involved in environmental monitoring and testing. It allows for real-time measurement of petrochemical contamination in water or vapour. Sending away samples to a laboratory for gas chromatography or infrared analysis is not necessary.

The intrinsically safe analyser uses a fibre-optic chemical sensor (FOCS), with an operating range of 0 to 20,000 ppm of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) with a lower limit of detection <10 ppm as xylene, in vapour, and an accuracy of ±15% of reading; or a range of 0 to 2000 ppm as TPH with a lower limit of detection 0.1 ppm as xylene, in water, with an accuracy of ±10% of reading.

The analyser is suitable for a number of applications, including: remediation monitoring; site assessment; well plume monitoring; storm/wastewater monitoring; hydrocarbon breakthrough; and leak detection.

It features serial output to laptop or printer, with logging of up to 1000 samples. The response time is less than 5 s, and it is certified to EPA Method 8020.
