PORTABLE OIL-IN-WATER TESTING
ERACHECK X, the most recent portable oil-in-water tester is straightforward to use, providing results within 5 minutes. ERACHECK X is fully compliant with the newest IR oil-in-water standard ASTM D8193 measuring TOG, TPH, and FOG in water with sub-ppm precision. Its sturdy design, with a small footprint, makes it suitable for fast on-site compliance testing even under extreme conditions.
Xtra RUGGED, FAST & EASY
ERACHECK X is made during a corrosion-resistant aluminium housing and has no moving parts. Its ruggedness and reliability make it the perfect solution in tough ambient conditions for the daily work on oil drilling platforms and as a transportable field tester for wastewater professionals.
The simplified extraction procedure is performed during a few steps, requiring minimum glassware and straightforward cleaning. The fully automated measurement of the extract takes only 2 minutes. Results are displayed on the massive full-color touch screen and may be exported via USB on to a flash drive or PC for LIMS.
Xtra ACCURATE
ERACHECK X may be a high-end dual-beam non-dispersive IR spectrometer for the highly accurate measurement of oil-in-water. Supported the in-expensive and environmentally friendly CFC-free solvent, cyclohexane, it measures fully compliance with ASTM D8193, offering excellent correlation to EPA 1664, ISO 9377-2, and OSPAR. Unlike gravimetric methods, ASTM D8193 doesn't require the evaporation of the solvent, eliminating the chance of light-ends getting lost during the measurements. This ends up in a significantly better accuracy and precision (r = 0.25 mg/L) over a good measuring range (0 ? 3000 mg/L).
