The OSS ClearShot method provides operators and users with the necessary tools to measure low oil concentrations without the hurdles present when using prior methods. It is ideally suited for low oil concentration systems, such as wastewater, process water, residual oil systems, drinking water and other process control applications. Product performance requirements and consumer demand are leading to oil measurements in the 0.2 ppm range and below. With the OSS method, 13 mm ClearShot Extractors are utilized to capture and retain even the lowest oil concentrations so that they can be accurately measured.

Oil in Water Testing Method

The OSS ClearShot Methodology has four main steps:

• Obtain a homogenized 10 ml sample using a syringe.
• Process the volume through the extractor
• Dry the extractor
• Measure oil concentration using an FTIR unit
