This deliverable describes the work done within Task 8.3 “Pilot II – TUPRAS Pilot (Turkey)”. The capability of an IR- based at-line analyzer to give information on the source of oil leaks in a refinery was demonstrated at TUPRAS R&D Center facilities.
The samples gathered from different refinery plants and streams are analyzed in the IR-based at-line analyzer, and the characteristics of these oil samples are discussed for oil in water (OiW) quality analysis. Effective regions are determined for hydrocarbon samples and their differences in spectrometric images are gathered. Overall, the capabilities of potential on-line oil in water analysis, as demonstrated in the Pilot I phase, coupled with tunable infrared spectroscopy, as demonstrated in this Pilot II phase, can be used in the future to quickly react to leaks in the cooling water system, reducing down-time and improving efficiency.
On the other hand, the field testing of TUPRAS water samples with the HYDROPTICS platform is performed at OMV premises for OiW quantity analysis, as part of D8.2.
