GXLab - Model RemScan -Advanced Portable Device
RemScan is an advanced portable device designed for rapid, on-site evaluations of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in soil. By bypassing the requirements for soil extraction and extra consumables, RemScan delivers immediate and dependable results. It has proven to be an indispensable tool in global remediation projects, from the oil fields of Kuwait, the Niger Delta and Indonesia to mining and industrial sites across Europe, Asia, North America and Australia, solidifying its reputation as the leading technology for in-field TPH measurements.
RemScan offers two operating modes. Operators can switch between different modes based on the application requirements.
Spill response mode is ideal for quick measurements at new site locations, such as in the aftermath of oil spills. Before measuring the soil in the affected area, operators simply measure some clean, representative soils to establish a site baseline. RemScan will indicate the measurement results with green/orange/red colour codes, indicating the different levels of petroleum hydrocarbon content in the soil.
Site-specific mode is used for large-scale sites and projects that require high accuracy measurements. RemScan measures petroleum hydrocarbon values in units of percentage (%), mg/kg and ppm. The instrument is calibrated specifically for the site by creating calibration standards using clean soil samples from the site. The standards are scanned with RemScan and the data is then sent to GXLab to produce predictive models.
- TPH Assessment: Measures total petroleum hydrocarbon content in soil (>C10).
- Soil Analysis: Simultaneously determines soil moisture levels, particle size distribution and classifies soil texture (IUSS).
- Result Swiftness: Measurements take just 30 seconds.
- Accuracy: Provides precision comparable to gold standard laboratory analysis.
- Versatility: Suitable for on-site evaluations or laboratory settings.
- Sample Metadata: Allows logging of sample ID, GPS coordinates, sample depth, photos, and notes for each measurement.
- Robust Data Security: Results are automatically saved to a secure and fully auditable database.
- Cost Efficiency: Make as many measurements as desired at no additional cost. No more measurement compromises to keep lab expenditure down.
- Consumable Absence: No extraction chemicals needed.
- Safety: No dangerous ionising radiation emissions.
- Sample Integrity: Non-destructive, preserving the soil sample’s condition.
- Ease of use: Minimal training ensures easy operation, eliminating the need for specialised staff and enhancing efficiency.
