Abstract
A system for determining the concentration of oil in a mixture of oil and water including an aligned photocell and a displaced photocell spaced therefrom to receive direct and reflected and/or refracted light through a scatter cell from a laser. A logarithmic amplifier is connected from the aligned photocell because a logarithm of the output thereof is a linear function. The displaced photocell output is essentially linear over a typical range above 200 parts per million (ppm). The output of the logarithmic amplifier is essentially linear below about 200 ppm. The linear portion of each output is combined by a switch when the logarithmic amplifier output passes through a selected threshold level.
