TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

The PetroSense



Porta le Hydrocar on Analyzer consists of a

microcomputer- ased, porta le, direct, in-situ reading instrument and a

hydrocar on sensing pro e (the AHP-100) that uses the FCI Environmental,

Inc. patented Fi er Optic Chemical Sensor (FOCS®) technology. The pro e

is sensitive to hydrocar ons containing at least 6 car ons and is especially

sensitive to aromatic hydrocar ons. This sensitivity makes the PHA-

100Plus ideal for detecting a variety of petroleum hydrocar on products

such as:

• Unleaded gasoline

• Diesel

• Jet fuels

• Aromatic solvents

• Crude oil

The PHA-100Plus provides the user with the unique a ility to quantifia ly

detect hydrocar ons in vapor, water, at the interface, and in soil.

The hydrocar on sensing pro e employs an optical fi er coated with a

chemical that has an affinity for hydrocar ons. The sensor operates on the

principle that the index of refraction of the optical fi er chemical coating

changes in direct proportion to the concentration of hydrocar ons in air or

water. As hydrocar ons partition into the chemical coating, the change in

the effective index of refraction can e determined y measuring the amount

of light transmitted through the optical fi er. The response depends on the

total num er and type of hydrocar ons present.

A schematic of FOCS® operating principle is shown elow.

FOCS® Operating Principle

PetroSense®

PHA-100Plus Portable Hydrocarbon Analyzer

Process Sequence

1. Raw signal (measures light intensity) →

2. Software converts raw data into a relative ppm measurement →

3. The cali ration process converts the relative ppm measurement to a ppm

measurement ased on a known standard.

The AHP-100 pro e is only sensitive to hydrocar ons containing 6 or more

car ons, hence it has no response to naturally occurring methane (CH

) or

hydrogen sulfide (H

S); and is more sensitive to higher molecular weight

components making it particularly effective in detecting the heavier

petroleum lends (i.e., diesel). The sensor response is reversi le and

maintains an equili rium with its surrounding environment.

The PHA-100Plus is normally cali rated to the aromatic hydrocar on p-

xylene. A quantitative measurement in parts per million (ppm) is o tained

and is displayed in terms of p-xylene equivalents. These measurements can

e converted to actual levels of other hydrocar ons in the sample y

multiplying them with the Relative Response Factor (RRF) for the

hydrocar on that is expected to e present in the sample. This is similar to

using a PID or FID that has een cali rated using iso utylene. The readings

have to e multiplied y the RRF to o tain the concentration of the analyte.

It is also possi le to cali rate the instrument to a specific analyte or gas

lend instead of p-xylene.

Training Guide

Turn your PHA-100Plus ON to verify that the unit is working properly.

The PHA-100Plus may need to e charged when you first receive your unit.

This condition will e indicated y a eep and a low attery message in the

display.

To charge the PHA-100Plus

• Remove the interface adapter from the kit.

• Open the cap covering the socket on the ack of the meter.

• Line up the red dots on the connector with the socket and insert

the connector until it latches.

• Plug the charger unit into an AC outlet and attach it to the

interface ca le.

• Twelve to fourteen hours are needed to charge the PHA-100Plus.

The unit may e run on AC power during cali ration or setup.

To prevent “Battery Memory,” fully discharge the PHA-100Plus once a

month before recharging the battery. To discharge the attery, turn ON

the acklight, and leave the PHA-100Plus ON until the display turns OFF.

The attery of an automo ile can also charge the PHA-100Plus. The kit

includes an adapter that plugs into a car’s cigarette lighter. This plugs into

the interface adapter.

As a rule of thum , the operating time of the attery will e approximately

the same as the amount of time which the instrument was charged, provided

the acklighting option on the display is not selected.

BASIC OPERATION/SOFTWARE

The PHA-100Plus is menu driven. The sequence of menus and commands

are viewed in the display window. The instrument is turned ON y a single

depression of the ON/OFF utton. Power can e turned OFF at any time y

pressing the utton.

Always return to the Main Menu before turning the power off. Returning

to the Main Menu avoids incomplete processing. If processing is

incomplete, any new cali ration values may e lost, and the machine returns

to the previous values.

Turn the PHA-100Plus ON. The software opens the Main Menu. The lower

half of the LCD display shows the user which function utton to push in

order to access different su -menus of the PHA-100Plus software.

From the
