Modern Hexane-Extractable Material (Oil & Grease) Analysis in Wastewater Samples
6 Sept 2018Oil & grease, is an operationally-defined general measurement used around the world to help assess water pollution due to a variety of hydrocarbons, including dissolved aromatics, benzene, toluene, xylene and dispersed polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), aliphatics, naphthenic and fatty acids. Some commonly recognized sources of these compounds include fats, greases, soaps, waxes, and oils. In this application note discover how SPE can be used the analyze the presence of oil and grease in wastewater samples.

Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity. Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Solid-Phase ExtractionSolid-phase extraction (SPE) is used for clean-up, extraction and concentration of semi-volatile or non-volatile analytes from complex mixtures including blood, urine and food samples. Multiple formats are available for conducting SPE, including prepacked SPE cartridges, disks and microplates, as well as SPE sorbent powders for manual packing. SPE systems can be used to automate the process and extract multiple samples at once. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and supported liquid extraction (SLE) products are also available in the same formats. Find the best SPE, SLE and SPME equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Waste WaterWater AnalysisAnalytical methods used to test the purity of drinking water include determining the level of contaminants abides to the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
