Industries that would benefit from using the Detect-Oil-In-Water (Crystals) oil screening kits include:

Transportation facilities and garages (bus barns, fleet vehicles etc) forestry and pulp and paper, environmental, aerospace, shipping/marine, manufacturing, petrochemical, utilities and auto shops and carwashes. The kits are also useful for oil in water leak detection and site remediation tests.

The most common applications for this test kit include:

  • Checking for oil in water and oil sheens from auto shops and car washes
  • Checking for oil in water and oil sheens in sanitary or storm sewers
  • Checking for oil in water and oil sheens in flush water in telephone manholes
  • Detecting the presence of oil or hydrocarbons on ponds and waterways

Easy And Safe to Use:

In keeping with our desire to make our oil in water tests rapid, safe and simple a de minimis quantity of camphor is sealed in a convenient tear open packet. Our specially developed packet can contain camphor crystals for years without allowing the crystals to sublime. Prior to using this test, please rinse the testing container several times to ensure it is clear of oils transferred when handling the packets. To use this sampling kit – a water sample to be tested is placed in the plastic container provided. The crystals enclosed in the kit are sprinkled on to the water.

  • Spinning crystals indicate an absence of oil (below approx. 10ppm TPH)
  • Stationary crystals indicate the presence of oil in water (typically at above the 10ppm TPH level)

The Detect-Oil-In-water (Crystals) test is intended as a fast and easy absence/presence field tool only. It cannot be used to either measure quantities of oil present, nor can it be used to identify specific oils or petroleums other than the general TPH indicator. The kit offers users a fast, reliable, and inexpensive field tool that has a +10ppm TPH capability. The only known interference comes from detergents or alcohols in the water (neither of which are typically encountered in a field situation).
