Crude Oil Sensor

Crude Oil Sensor

The highly sensitive UV Crude Oil sensor from Chelsea Technologies is for real-time, in situ detection of crude oil in water.

The Crude Oil UviLux is a compact and highly sensitive fluorometer with excellent turbidity rejection and high ambient light rejection, making it suitable for use in water and wastewater treatment works, as well as natural waters at the surface and to depths of up to 1000 m.

Fluorescence is reported in Quinine Sulphate Units (QSU), where 1 QSU is equivalent to the fluorescence intensity recorded from 1 ppb quinine sulphate at an excitation wavelength of 347.5 nm and an emission wavelength of 450 nm. Factors are provided for selected compounds to convert the fluorescence output from QSU to ppb of the compound of interest.
