PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) are one of the most widespread organic pollutants. In addition to their presence in fossil fuels, they are also formed by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels such as wood, coal, diesel, fat, tobacco, and incense. Due to their physical properties, PAHs are widely used in many industrial applications, such as lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, and electro-hydraulic control fluid. Their applications also could produce man-made contamination in the water systems due to leakage of the oils.

➥ Fluorescence Detection:
The aromatic fraction of PAHs can be excited with UV light (360nm for crude oil) or deep-UV light (280nm for refined oil) to emit fluorescent light. The fluorescence intensity is linear with the concentration of the oil. This technology is ideal for monitoring leaking lube oil in the cooling systems or power plants, or leaking crude oil in ocean/lake environment.
Our handheld dual-channel fluorometer is designed for oil and/or fuel detection and monitoring. Due to the low interference from other substances, we have proven that this technology can detect sub-mg/L (<1-ppm) level of oil/fuel contamination in water samples from the environment. And due to its high portability, it can be used anywhere in the field to conduct environmental inspection for potential oil contaminations.
