Oil in Water Test Method Applicable for Wastewater, Process Water and Drinking Water Testing Applications

Comparison to Traditional Oil in Water Test Methods

Businesses relying on traditional oil in water testing methods are incurring higher costs for less accurate results. OSS ClearShotTM technology is designed to significantly lower operational costs while simultaneously reducing corporate risk. This innovative patented technology marks a breakthrough in operator safety, testing speed, process simplicity, and results accuracy, all while delivering substantial cost savings. Unlike the traditional solvent method with flammability issues, health concerns and environmental impacts associated with exposure to dangerous materials, the OSS ClearShot Method eliminates all related issues associated with these solvents, while reducing test time and overall costs. 

How OSS Can Further Reduce Costs and Risk

By utilizing the OSS Oil in Water test method, organizations can achieve significant cost reductions through decreased labor requirements due to simplified testing procedures, overall chemical savings and the elimination of the need for chemical hoods. By swiftly identifying the source of an oil issue and taking prompt action, OSS helps businesses avoid poor process performance, substandard product quality, and costly fines. Additionally, corporate risk is further minimized by eliminating health, environmental, and safety issues associated with solvents, which are not required for the OSS Oil in Water test method.  This method also eliminates the need to generate laboratory standards.

Other Advantages of ClearShot Technology

In addition to substantial cost savings, the ClearShot Oil in Water test method offers several other advantages over traditional methods:

  • Increased Accuracy and Precision in Test Method Results
  • Environmental Benefits: Reusable Components and Reduction of Hazardous Waste
  • Testing Can be Performed in the Field, Production Facility or any Laboratory
  • Provides Ability to Automatically Identify Oil(s) to Detect Problem Source
  • Method Measures a wide range of Oil Concentrations
  • Internationally Approved as ASTM D7575
