Fingerprinting Hydrocarbons to Reduce Business Risk

The OSS oil in water method can not only determine the oil concentration but can automatically identify the oils in the sample, providing enhanced industrial safety and efficiency with patented ClearShot™ extractor technology. Read how one organization demonstrated this unique capability to save money and reduce risk by identifying oil in cooling water.

Safely and Cost-Effectively Measure TPH in Water

OSS introduces a breakthrough method to measure Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) in water, with significant advancements over traditional methods. Used in conjunction with the OSS TOG test method, the new method provides the user with a complete system to cost effectively, safely, rapidly and accurately measure oil in water with the added benefit of oil identification.

Quickly Measure Volatile and Non-Volatile Components

Orono Spectral Solutions (OSS) has developed an innovative method that can quickly, accurately, and safely measure both volatile and non-volatile components of oil in water systems. Based on the ASTM D7575 method, the process involves capturing the oil in water using only one patented ClearShotTM extractor to measure both components.
