Benchmark Measurement Solutions (formerly Turner Designs Hydrocarbon Instruments) products

The TD-2500 combines ultrasonics and a time-tested insertion probe to offer the ultimate in early detection of high concentrations, or slugs, of oil in waste water. Ultrasonic technology measures oil at high concentrations, typically seen after oil/water separation, is sensitive to droplets, solids or gas bubbles and is easier to maintain than optical technologies.

Turner Designs Hydrocarbon Instruments proudly announces the all new dual-channel TD-560 Oil in Water Analyzer. In addition to the optical channel found in the TD-550, suitable for crude and other heavy oils, the TD-560 adds a second channel for detecting lighter hydrocarbons, such as BTEX, gas condensates, gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, transformer oils, styrene and phenol. The TD-560 offers a greatly enhanced detection range (low ppb to 5000 ppm) over most oil in water analyzers.

Turner Designs Hydrocarbon Instruments is proud to introduce the new standard in grab sample oil in water analysis with the TD-550 oil in water analyzer. The TD-550 is suitable for crude oils and other heavy oils with a greatly enhanced detection range (low ppb to 5000 ppm) over most oil in water analyzers.  Also new, the TD-560 includes the same optical channel of the TD-550 along with a second optical channel for detecting lighter hydrocarbons such as BTEX, gas condensates, gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, transformer oils, styrene and phenol.

The TD-120 Oil in Water Monitor, developed from more than 20 years of real-world experience with UV fluorescence technology, offers industry leading features. The online monitor is resistant to dirty or turbid water influences that typically impact UV absorption or light scatter instrument measurements—allowing hydrocarbons, fuels, lubricating oils, heat transfer fluids, and crude oil to be measured at low ppm/ppb levels. The TD-120 Oil in Water Monitor also has a greatly enhanced dynamic range compared to most online oil in water monitors (up to 6000 ppm).

Turner Designs Hydrocarbon Instruments, in partnership with Benchmark International, is proud to present the CF-200 Algae Monitor. Using the C-Fluor fluorescence probe, the online monitor is fully integrated and ready to detect Chlorophyll A in fresh or sea water. Plankton biomass in sea water can be variable by season, weather and other uncontrollable conditions. Industrial plants with sea water intake can be affected by high plankton concentrations. Reverse osmosis desalination systems can have high differential pressure, and when treated with chlorine, can have high disinfection byproducts in the membrane permeate.

The TD-4100XD is a ruggedized version of the TD-4100 continuous online oil in water monitor. The XD is designed specifically for offshore oil production, refining, petrochemical, mining, and other industries that require robust online hardware for severe duty and hazardous area locations. The monitor is skid or wall mounted and constructed of 316 stainless steel. It also includes an external keypad for operation in corrosive environments. The TD-4100XD detects and measures crude oil, refined fuels, fuel oils, lubricating or hydraulic fluids, and aromatic solvents in water. Detection limits range from low ppb (µg/L) to high ppm (mg/L).

The TD-4100XD General Purpose monitor is a lower cost version of the industry standard TD-4100XD and is designed for use in non-explosive atmospheres. It was designed for dirty water applications and uses our standard EZ Access noncontact flow cell for lower maintenance. Field validation is via our CheckPOINT™ solid calibration check standard.

The TD-4100XDC is a closed cell version of the rugged, world industry standard TD-4100XD Oil in Water Monitor. It was designed for normally clean water applications or dirty water applications where fouling can be controlled by chemical injection or optional onboard cleaning systems. It utilizes a clear tube flow cell to contain the sample water at pressure to prevent oxygen contamination in steam systems and to return the sample to the process at pressure. It uses a unique internal cell condition monitor to alert operations of the need for cleaning or to trigger the optional onboard cleaning system. As with all Turner monitors it includes a field validation method.

It was designed for normally clean water applications, or dirty water applications where fouling can be controlled by chemical injection or optional onboard cleaning systems. It uses a clear tube flow cell to contain the sample water at pressure, prevent oxygen contamination in steam systems, and return the sample to the process at pressure. It features a unique internal cell condition monitor to signal the need for cleaning or to trigger the optional onboard cleaning system. As with all Turner monitors, it includes a field validation method.

Most oilfield produced waters and other oily waste waters have high fouling potential for optical sensors. High cost ultrasonic cleaning systems only address the local optical path and not the entire sample system. Our clean-in-place (CIP) system addresses the entire sample system in the same way that CIPs are used to clean heat exchangers and other oily systems.
