Download Technical Data Sheet

The TD-3100 is a low cost benchtop instrument that was developed to provide an alternative to industry standard oil and grease methods. Measure samples directly (non-extraction) or with solvent (i.e. hexane) extraction methods.



TD-3100 Features

  • Simple set-up and calibration

  • Low cost per sample analysis

  • Less than 10 seconds per sample

  • Calibrated methods for quantitative analysis

  • Un-calibrated method for relative measurements

  • Results correlate to standard methods

  • Quick-change optics for multiple applications

  • Detection limits range from ppb to ppm depending on application

  • Solid Reference Standards available for quick performance checks

  • Sample compartment accommodates 25 x 150 mm round, 13 x 100 mm round, or 10 x 10 mm square cuvettes

Applications include:

  • Heat Exchanger Leak Detection

  • Produced Water

  • Industrial Wastewater

  • Ground Water

  • Storm Water

  • Bilge Water

  • Soil Extract Analysis

Target Hydrocarbons

  • Crude Oil

  • BTEX

  • Styrene

  • Gasoline

  • Diesel

  • Jet Fuel

  • Fuel Oils

  • Kerosene

  • Heat Transfer Fluids

TD-500 In the news

Turner Designs Hydrocarbon Instruments has developed a device right here in Fresno that can measure the amount of oil in water.

The TD 500 is being used by the Coast Guard, the Everglades Foundation and the USGS as the oil spill continues to spread in the Gulf of Mexico. Officials can measure the oil concentration with the device and get a better heads up on how to protect gulf coastlines.
