    TriOS data protocol. It is available in two versions with different measuring ranges: enviroFlu HC 500 offers a measuring range from 0 µg/L to 500 μg/L PAH, whereas the enviroFlu HC 5000 version has a measuring range from 0 µg/L to 5,000 μg/L PAH. If enviroFlu HC is mentioned in this document, the information also applies to the enviroFlu HC MB version, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

  • Page 9: Product Identification

    BT is recommended for the detection of monoaromatics (benzene, toluene and xylene, also called BTX). It corresponds to the enviroFlu HC in terms of equipment, but is equipped with other filter sets and meas- ures in a measuring range from 0 µg/L to 10,000 μg/L.

  • Page 10: Scope Of Delivery

    The following is an overview of the measurement principle, the optical arrangement and the subsequent cal- culation. The enviroFlu HC immersion fluorometer detects polycyclic hydrocarbons in real time by directly measuring the fluorescence emissions in a sample. The PAHs are excited by a highly efficient xenon flash lamp. The selection of the wavelength necessary to excite the PAH fluorescence is carried out by a high-quality interference filter.

    10 µg/L of phenanthrene generates a signal of 62 µg/L of TFCS, which means that the envi- roFlu measures 62 µg/L. The tables in chapter 5.3 provide an overview of the measurement behaviour of the enviroFlu HC for various aromatic hydrocarbons dissolved in water in comparison to the TriOS fluorescence standard TFCS.

If the offset determined in this way is greater than the value in the following table, either the sample is dirty or the measuring window is dirty.

  • Page 25: Calibration With Drycal

    The DryCAL set was developed for checking the measurement of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) with the enviroFlu HC. The enviroFlu detects PAH in a measuring range of 0 – 50 µg/L, 0 – 500 µg/L or 0 – 5 000 µg/L (enviroFlu HC 500, enviroFlu HC 5000).
  • Page 26 Application DryCAL The DryCAL set can only be used together with the respective assigned enviroFlu HC 500 or enviroFlu HC 5000. Both products have been precisely matched to each other in the manufacturer‘s laboratory, so that the control of the measured value is only guaranteed in combination with the corresponding enviroFlu. The serial number of the corresponding sensor is printed on the type plate.

    PAH-p in enviroFlu)" is "...calibrated against a known set of phenanthrene concentrations...". The parameter PAH-p is calculated directly from PAH with a factor of 6.2. enviroFlu HC MB provides the meas- urement results of PAH and PAH-p in different Modbus addresses. The digital measurement result of enviroFlu HC needs to be divided by 6.2 to get the result for PAH-p.

  • Page 29 enviroFlu Calibration The emission intensity of individual PAHs at 360 nm varies greatly, as does the composition of PAHs in different mineral oils. Therefore, no universal calibration for PAHs in water is impossible. Naphthalene and phenanthrene have the highest concentration in wastewater from exhaust gas cleaning systems on ships and in crude oil. Since naphthalene is very volatile and the fluorescence signal is very weak, phenanthrene is used for calibra- tion.
