The ideal solution for oil-in-water detection, the KAM® OODTM Optical Oil Detector offers unmatched simplicity and pin-point accuracy in an in-line meter. The OODTM allows operators to monitor produced water and wastewater streams for the presence of hydrocarbons in a variety of applications, providing continuous, real-time data with a minimum range of 0-100 ppm, maximum 0-5000 ppm. Fiber optics within the optical probe respond to the fluorescence and absorption in the fluid to detect the presence and quantity of hydrocarbons in water. The combined data is translated as voltage on a 4-20 mA output or via MODBUS.

The simplicity of design and quality of engineering employed in the KAM® OODTM mean there are no moving parts. Using long-lasting LED light sources ensures longterm, stable performance with limited maintenance and power requirements. In addition, locating the electronics within an explosion-proof enclosure directly on the atmospheric end of the optical probe creates a complete and compact unit with maximum installation flexibility.

Measurement is completely automatic without the need for operator intervention or supervision, and the output signal can be sent to the SCADA, PLC’s, or to a Central Control Room for logging or display on chart recorders or monitors.
