This product was developed in response to a request for a “non-mutagenic” red dye based oil screening kit that will identify the presence of oil, petroleum and chlorinated solvents in petroleum contaminated soil, sand and gravel. As with the Sudan IV based Detect-Oil-In-Soil kit, this test can be used with a limited number of DNAPLS: including TCE, TCA and PCE materials.
During the excavation of contaminated soil, the Detect-Oil-In-Soil soil test kit will permit rapid assessment of the depth and direction of contaminants, thus reducing the time and costs typically associated with field screening methodology.
The dimensions of this oil screening kit are:
Height 2.75 inches (75 mm), Diameter 1.5 inches (42mm)
NOTE: Esters (detergents) are the only known substance to interfere with the dyes ability to stain petroleum hydrocarbon products. This may be applicable when screening for Ester based (i.e. synthetic) motor oils. Detect-Oil-In-Soil kits are NOT suitable for detection of gases (compounds with 4 carbons or less), or for use with heavy crude oils (Bunker C), or solid bituminous materials like asphalt or waxes
Forestry, environmental, aerospace, shipping/marine, railways, manufacturing, petrochemical, utilities, construction and other companies involved with oil leak detection and site remediation.
The most common applications for this test kit include:
