Re: Detection of Hydrocarbon Leaks into cooling sy stem

Thomas:
Have you considered a simple conductivity check? Depending on how much impurities your water has, this might work. The cell I am familiar with has a grid of interlaced conductors. A side stream of the liquid is passed over, and the conductivity measured. Depending on how much oil you get, and in what manner, slugs or evenly mixed, this should work. Problem being, with a cooling tower, if you have a wide variation of conductivity due to impurities, make up water, etc. you can have false indications.

Its OK Thomas, no offence taken. Mostly, it just amuses me, don't feel
you have to go all PC on my behalf.

Anyway, I am sorry I can't help you with your original query. I spend
all my time mucking about with nuclear plumbing and don't get to play
with interesting petrochem pipes.
