The Thermo Scientific 8280 Hydrocarbons-In-Water monitor is a continuous sampling monitor designed for use where rapid response to light hydrocarbon, leaks, or spills, along with high sensitivity and low maintenance are required. It provides advanced warning against contaminated plant effulent, condensate return or cooling water.
Product Detail
The 8280 Hydrocarbons-In-Water monitor is a continuous sampling monitor designed for use where rapid response to light hydrocarbon (< C11) leaks or spills, along with high sensitivity and low maintenance, is required. It provides advance warning against contaminated plant effluent, contaminated condensate return or cooling water, as well as monitoring of light volatile organics or hydrocarbons in various other water streams.
The 8280 has a wide range of leak detection with the capability to detect from the very low ppm (part-per-million) range up to the two percent range. It is well suited for monitoring most volatile organics and hydrocarbons. It is effective for detection of benzene, 1,2-dichloroethane, propane, butanes, phenol, hexanes, and other organic compounds in water. When equipped with the optional membrane stripper, the 8280 effectively detects organic compounds with high vapor pressures such as i-butane and n-butane. The 8280 is not suitable for detection of heavy, non-volatile oils or greases.
