The portable oil-in-water tester eracheck X is simple to use and produces results in 5 minutes. eracheck X complies with the most recent IR oil-in-water standard, ASTM D8193, which measures TOG, TPH, and FOG in water with sub-ppm precision. Its sturdy design and tiny footprint make it ideal for speedy on-site compliance testing, even in adverse environments.

eracheck X is housed in a corrosion-resistant aluminum housing and contains no moving parts. Its robustness and dependability make it perfect for daily use on oil drilling platforms and as a portable field tester for wastewater experts in harsh environments.
The streamlined extraction technique is completed in a few steps, with minimal glassware and easy cleanup. The extract is totally automated and takes only two minutes to measure. The huge full-color touchscreen displays the results, which can then be transferred via USB to a flash drive or PC for LIMS.
Xtra Accurate

The eracheck X is a high-end dual-beam non-dispersive infrared spectrometer designed for very accurate oil-in-water measurements. It is based on the inexpensive and environmentally beneficial CFC-free solvent cyclohexane and measures in complete conformity with ASTM D8193, with great correlation to EPA 1664, ISO 9377-2, and OSPAR.
ASTM D8193, unlike gravimetric procedures, does not require solvent evaporation, reducing the potential of light-end loss during measurements. This results in greatly improved accuracy and precision (r = 0.25 mg/L) across a large measuring range (0–3000 mg/L).
