HORIBA S-316 Solvent

HORIBA S-316 Solvent
The OCMA-350 uses the highly effective, environmentally-safe S-316 extraction solvent to extract the oil components from oily water samples, soil samples, or product surfaces. The extract is analyzed using IR absorbance, a non-dispersive infrared spectrophotometric technique which is specific to hydrocarbons such as oil.
The OCMA-350 measures absorption in the 3.4 to 3.5 micrometer range. The two graphs at the right show the absorption spectra of (1) petroleum and (2) HORIBA S-316 solvent. All hydrocarbons, including oils, absorb infrared radiation at about 3.4 to 3.5 micrometers. As a result, the unit can measure any hydrocarbons in the extraction solvent quickly and accurately, with no distortion of values due to presence of the solvent.
HORIBA’s S-316 Solvent can be recycled with the aid of the optional SR-300 Solvent Reclaimer. Recycling the solvent not only cuts your solvent costs, but also helps protect the environment.
