Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) and BTEX Monitoring Systems

PetroSense sensors represent "best in breed" technology for the detection of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH). PetroSense sensors operate in air (vapor), water and soil. PetroSense sensors are non-specific detectors for TPH, semi-volatile hydrocarbons (e.g., diesel fuel, heating fuels, etc.), trichloroethylene/perchloroethylene and many other related compounds.

PetroSense sensors operate in air (vapor), water and soil.

The PetroSense sensors have a very strong response for aromatic and other large hydrocarbon compounds. This makes these sensors very useful for the detection of BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylenes), which is used as a tracer for TPH leaks/contamination. The characteristic relative response factors (RRF's) can be determined for specific sites. The sensors can be calibrated for specific compounds expected at a given site, or the non-specific readings can be converted to the concentrations of these specific compounds by use of the appropriate RRF's. See how the PetroSense sensors have been used in a variety of applications.

BTEX Detection and Monitoring

BTEX monitoring systems

PetroSense (FCI Environmental, Inc.) has been a leader in Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) and BTEX monitoring systems for almost twenty years. PetroSentry is the only commercially available system that can detect both the presence and concentration of TPH and BTEX in vapor and dissolved in water on a real time basis in field applications. We offer both a portable version for on site spot testing PHA-100 Plus and a continuous monitoring version CMS-100 that allows users to monitor remote sites via the internet...
