FOG Testing Measurements Now Range from 1 PPM to 10 Percent with Wilks InfraCal2 Analyzers
Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) December 04, 2014 -- Industrial and food processing plants that have high levels of fats, oil, and grease (FOG) in their effluents face strict wastewater regulations. The Wilks InfraCal 2 Analyzers provide accurate, easy, on-site analysis to help both regulators and industry comply with permit requirements and avoid potentially costly fines. These instruments now feature a multiple calibration option that allows for a wider measurement range – as low as 1 ppm up to 10 percent, providing greater flexibility for pretreatment operators and regulators to test a variety of samples. The InfraCal 2 Analyzers are compact, fixed-filter, mid-infrared monitors with no moving parts. They weigh less than 5 pounds and are battery operable. This makes them portable, sturdy, and operational in a range of ambient conditions typically found in industrial and field environments.
With InfraCal2 Analyzers, on-site results are attained in 10-15 minutes, eliminating the wait and high cost for remote lab results which can take several days to a week. A typical cost per test is in the $5 USD range. Further, the measurement procedure is simple enough for an operator with minimal training to do the analysis.
With over 3,500 in use worldwide, the Wilks InfraCal Analyzers have been a reliable standard in the highly regulated petroleum industry for measuring oil in water for over 20 years. In addition to extended measurement ranges, the devices are equipped with unlimited data storage that tags measurements with analyst, date and time, and security features with different user access levels.
