Determination of Hydrocarbon Oil Index

EN ISO 9377-2: Water quality — Determination of hydrocarbon oil index — Part 2: Method using solvent extraction and gas chromatography

The cleanliness of sea water is of great importance for the sustainability of natural resources. Factors such as industrialization and urbanization cause sea pollution. In particular, the mixing of wastes from factories into the sea is the biggest factor in marine pollution.

Many tests and analyzes are carried out within the scope of relevant regulations and standards for the detection of seawater pollution. One of these analyzes is the "Determination of Hydrocarbon Oil Index" process. Determination of Hydrocarbon Oil Index performed in sea water, treatment water and wastewater is a suitable analysis method for concentrations above 0.1 mg/l.

EN ISO 9377-2 Water quality — Determination of hydrocarbon oil index — Part 2: Method using solvent extraction and gas chromatography

Within the scope of the EN ISO 9377 standard, 2 different methods are used:

Part 1: Method using solvent extraction and gravimetry

Part 2: Method using solvent extraction and gas chromatography

"Determination of Hydrocarbon Oil Index" in sea water is carried out in the accredited and authorized Nanolab Environmental Analysis Laboratory.
