Oil Content Analyzer - Model OCMA-350

Push-button simplicity, perfect for field analysis

Oil Content Analyzer

Compact and simple, OCMA-350 oil content analyzer delivers quick, accurate measurements in the lab or in the field. It efficiently measures the level of oil in water or soil for environmental applications, checks for residual oil on semiconductor parts which have been cleaned, and measures oil on any industrial surface.

Using the OCMA-350 is almost effortless. Simply inject the extract from your sample, dissolved in Horiba's S-316 solvent, into the measuring cell, and press one button. You can even use your PC to simplify operation.

 

Recommended Applications

  • Environment: Surveying water quality and hazardous waste sites
  • Industry: Monitoring wastewater influent and effluent
  • Marine transportation: Checking bilge and ballast discharge
  • Petroleum processing:Monitoring the efficiency of oil/water separation processes
  • Oil depots: Monitoring the discharge produced when cleaning storage tanks
  • Automotive: Monitoring waste-water discharge from service stations
  • Quality Assurance: Measuring residual oil on textiles and metal parts

 

Special Features

The OCMA-350 has various special features to assure accurate measurements.

Stable readout
The unit's data evaluation function analyzes the readings, determines when the value has stabilized, and displays that stable value.

Self-monitoring
Messages on the LCD screen inform you of any electrical malfunctions, irregularities in measurement, and deterioration of parts, so that you can always be assured of proper functioning.

Simplified record keeping
The OCMA-350 keeps a record of the time and date of measurement along with each data set it records. When printing out, it provides you with both the time and the measurement, allowing for easy record keeping.

 

Display

Easy-to-read backlit LCD
The backlit LCD is easy to read under any conditions, including bright sunlight. The digital display eliminates individual reading differences.

Three measurement units
The OCMA-350 measures in mg/I for oil in water, mg/kg for oil in soil, and Abs for the absorbency of oil, so you can always choose the proper unit for your sample measurement.

 

Cell Control
To introduce your sample into the removable cell, just pull the cell out of its holder. It's easy to avoid leaks and spills when you have this much control. The removable cell is also easy to maintain.

Connections

All the right connections
Each unit is equipped with a printer port and an RS-232 port. Simply connect the OCMA-350 to your printer or PC for remote control of the unit and ready access to measurement data.

 

S-316 Solvent

HORIBA's S-316 Solvent
The OCMA-350 uses the highly effective S-316 extraction solvent to extract the oil components from oily water samples, soil samples or product surfaces. The extract is analyzed using IR absorbance, a non-dispersive infrared spectrophotometric technique which is specific to hydrocarbons such as oil.

Model SR-305 Solvent Reclaimer (option)
Designed especially for recycling S-316 solvent, it features a
2-layer column of activated carbon and activated aluminum. High capacity, simple operation and needs no electricity.
