Development and Installation of a Continuous Water Monitoring Systems for the AEDC

Abstract

A system to sample and analyze water from Rowland Creek at AEDC for hydrocarbon contaminants has been developed under a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program contract. The online continuous water monitoring system involves the combination of two gas chromatographs (GC). The first instrument combines a gas/liquid sparger and a GC. The sparger uses an inert gas, helium, to remove and concentrate volatile organic chemicals which are then sequentially analyzed using a GC. The second gas chromatographic instrument involves the analysis of nonvolatile water samples through direct injection of water.
