Oil-In-Water Content Monitor Developmental Program Summary.

Abstract

A summary of the feasibility studies of three concepts for oil-in-water content monitors, developed under separate Coast Guard contracts, is presented. The three concepts described - (1) oil fluorescence total luminescence scanning, - (2) small angle forward light scattering and (3) light scattering at 45, 90 and 135 degrees and turbidity at 0 deg - are followed through a two phase developmental program. The breadboard devices described are capable of linear monitor response to known oil mixtures over the range of 0-400 ppm with a maximum error of +15% (excluding Bunker 'C'). Original monitor designs and phase II design modifications are presented. Individual contractor test program results of a USCG developed test matrix are summarized. (Author)
