Abstract
A method for performing infrared analysis for measuring hydrocarbon contamination in water includes providing light from a light source; directing light from the light source through an experimental water sample; detecting the light transmitted from the experimental water sample; and determining a level of hydrocarbon contamination in the experimental water sample based on the light loss in the range between about 5700 cmand 6300 cm. An apparatus for performing infrared analysis for measuring hydrocarbon contamination in water includes a controller operative to determine light loss through the sample cell and to determine a level of hydrocarbon contamination in the experimental water sample based on the light loss in the range between about 5700 cmand 6300 cm.
