Wilks Enterprise Inc is engaged in the manufacture of analyzers and spectrometers that are employed in a wide variety of applications associated with environmental, biofuels, quality control, petrochemical and manufacturing industries.
The company has recently announced the introduction of easy to carry infrared analyzers for measuring the oil and grease levels in wastewater discharged from ethanol and biodiesel manufacturing companies.
Currently the Ethanol and Biodiesel manufacturing companies in USA are brought under the scanner of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other regulatory agencies of the government to ensure that the waste water discharges from the companies are within the permissible limits and abide by the regulations of Clean Water Act (CWA). The biofuel companies that discharge increased levels of oil and grease are penalized for violations. This necessitates the manufacturers to closely monitor the discharge levels to conform with the act.
The InfraCal Oil and Grease Analyzers introduced by Wilks Enterprise incorporates a proven technology for measuring oil and grease in water. This instrument allows on-site measurement of the wastewater within 10 to 15 minutes thus eliminating the necessity of delayed lab results. The data obtained by the InfraCal Model HATR-T2 can be correlated to EPA Method 1664 and the data from the InfraCal Model CVH can be correlated to ASTM Method D 7066-04 and EPA Methods 413.2 and 418.1.
The new InfraCal TOG/TPH Analyzer enables the biofuel plant companies to easily and quickly measure the level of oil or grease absorption in the waste byproducts before releasing them thus assuring to comply with regulatory requirements.
