We have a large pool of water quality and hydrology instruments available to you for rental.
By plugging the YSI Sensor Adapter into an optical port on a YSI sonde, hydrocarbons can be added to water quality parameters in profiling or continuous monitoring applications such as polluted waters, shipping channels, and mines.
Advantages
- Field Upgradable: Lowest-cost solution to adding oil monitoring capability to current monitoring locations
- No Wiring: No new wiring or external datalogger required
- CDOM Rejection
- Compatible with YSI 6600, 6920, 6820, 600OMS sondes and EMM68 harbor buoy
Hydrocarbon monitoring in water is of growing importance near oil platforms, marinas, and spill-affected waters. The stand-alone Turner sensors have been used extensively for oil monitoring. The crude oil sensor is useful for detecting oil throughout the water column in offshore monitoring. Closer to shore, where colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) concentrations can be high and interfere with crude oil readings, the refined fuels sensor is recommended.
