Product Overview

Blue Dragon Model C610OIW Online Oil-in-Water Analyzer

The Blue Dragon Model C610OIW is a complete online analyzer system designed for continuous ppm-level monitoring of oil contamination in industrial water and wastewater streams. The system combines a digital controller with a rugged self-wiping ultraviolet fluorescence sensor to provide real-time measurement, local display, alarm functions, analog output, and digital plant communication.

The C610OIW is designed for produced water, refinery wastewater, petrochemical effluent, industrial wastewater, process water, separator monitoring, and oil-contamination applications where rapid response and continuous process visibility are required.

Key Features

Continuous oil-in-water monitoring for industrial processes.

UV Fluorescence Detection

The sensor uses approximately 365 nm excitation and 465 nm fluorescence emission for ppm-level monitoring of oil-related compounds in industrial water.

0–150 ppm Measurement Range

Designed for continuous ppm-level monitoring of produced water, refinery wastewater, industrial effluent, and other oil-containing water streams.

Integrated Self-Wiping Sensor

Automatic optical-window cleaning helps reduce fouling and supports stable operation in demanding industrial water applications.

Fast Response

A T90 response time of less than 50 seconds supports rapid detection of oil leakage, separator upsets, and process changes.

Flexible Installation

The IP68 sensor can be installed directly by immersion or inside an optional overflow-style flow-through tank.

Plant Integration

The controller provides 4–20 mA output, RS485 Modbus RTU communication, and two relays for connection to PLC, SCADA, DCS, and alarm systems.

Monitoring Capability

Real-time oil contamination visibility.

Technology Overview

UV fluorescence oil-in-water measurement.

The sensor illuminates the water sample with ultraviolet light at approximately 365 nm. Fluorescent oil-related compounds emit light at approximately 465 nm, and the optical detector measures the resulting fluorescence intensity.

The controller processes the sensor signal, applies the configured calibration, displays the oil-in-water value in ppm, and transmits the measurement to the plant control system.

Because different oil types and water matrices may produce different fluorescence responses, field calibration using a representative process sample is recommended when site-specific correlation is required.

Applications

Designed for produced water, wastewater, and industrial effluent monitoring.


Produced Water


Refinery Wastewater


Petrochemical Effluent


Industrial Wastewater


Oil-Water Separators


Process Water

Installation Options

Flexible deployment for industrial sites.

Immersion Installation

The IP68 sensor may be installed directly in tanks, channels, basins, or suitable process-water streams.

Flow-Through Tank

An optional overflow-style flow-through tank provides controlled bypass-sample measurement where direct immersion is not practical.

Industrial Instrument Box

The controller and optional flow-through components may be installed inside a protected instrument enclosure for outdoor or harsher installations.

Self-Wiping Optical Sensor

Automatic cleaning for continuous monitoring.

The integrated mechanical wiper helps keep the optical measurement window clear during continuous operation. The standard cleaning interval is 30 minutes and can be adjusted between 10 and 60 minutes according to site fouling conditions.

The internal wiping motor has an expected service life exceeding five years under normal operating conditions. The nitrile-rubber wiping surface is a consumable component and should normally be inspected and replaced every three to six months, depending on the application.

Application Guidance

Site calibration supports better process correlation.

UV fluorescence response depends on oil composition and the water matrix. Crude oils, heavy oils, refined oils, process chemicals, and additives may produce different fluorescence responses at the same actual oil concentration.

Site calibration using a representative process sample is recommended when site-specific measurement correlation is required. One-point calibration is generally suitable for routine field adjustment, while two-point calibration may be used with prepared standard solutions.

High suspended-solids concentrations, bubbles, foam, unstable oil-water mixtures, organic solvents, and severe optical fouling can affect performance. Excessively high turbidity, particularly above approximately 500 NTU, is not recommended without an application review.

The C610OIW is designed for continuous online monitoring, process trending, and contamination alerts. It is not a certified laboratory reference method and should not be represented as a replacement for an applicable regulatory laboratory procedure.

Benefits

Continuous monitoring supports faster operational decisions.

  • Continuous process visibility: Provides real-time oil-in-water trends between laboratory sampling intervals.
  • Rapid contamination alerts: Supports faster identification of oil leakage, separator problems, and process upsets.
  • Reduced routine manual sampling: Helps operators monitor process changes continuously rather than relying only on periodic grab samples.
  • Reduced optical fouling: The self-wiping sensor helps maintain a clean measurement window.
  • Flexible installation: Supports immersion, flow-through, and optional instrument-box configurations.
  • Plant-system connectivity: Integrates with PLC, SCADA, DCS, recorders, and alarm systems.
  • Site-specific calibration: Allows measurement response to be adjusted using representative process samples.
