The challenge of Oil in Water monitoring

Increasing water production is a major challenge for Oil & Gas operators worldwide. With global average water cuts of 75% and rapidly increasing, the performance of produced water treatment systems is often critical for oil production. Consequently, reliable measurements of Oil in Water are important, both for monitoring the water treatment process and for monitoring discharges to the environment.

Until recently, no online OiW monitors have fully satisfied the Oil & Gas industry"s needs. Instruments are not designed for challenging offshore operations, and often fail to meet the industry"s demanding requirements. As a result, the most frequently used method for OiW monitoring today is manual sampling and laboratory analysis - an inefficient, labour-intensive and expensive method.
