ERACHECK ECO Oil-in-Water Tester

Manufacturer: eralytics GmbH

SKU: ECO01

Description

The ERACHECK ECO is an analytical instrument for determining total oil and grease (TOG) and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) concentrations in water and soil samples. Its operation is based on non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) transmission, a principle standardized in ASTM D8193. The device uses cyclohexane, a CFC-free solvent, for sample extraction. A typical measurement uses approximately 900 mL of water sample and 50 mL of solvent, with a minimum requirement of 10 mL solvent per analysis. The manufacturer reports a method detection limit (MDL) of 0.5 mg/L and notes that the technique helps minimize the loss of volatile hydrocarbons. The instrument supports user-defined calibrations. Its methodology is cited as correlating with several established standard methods, including infrared spectroscopy (e.g., ASTM D3921, DIN 38409-H18), gas chromatography (e.g., ISO 9377-2, ISO 16703), and gravimetric techniques (e.g., EPA 1664, ASTM D4281). The unit has a compact footprint, measuring 29 cm in width, 35 cm in depth, and 34 cm in height.
