Horiba Oil Content Analyzer OCMA-500

Horiba Oil Content Analyzer OCMA-500

The Horiba Oil Content Analyzer OCMA-500 is an infrared-based analytical instrument used to measure oil content in water by the solvent extraction and IR absorption method. It is widely applied for monitoring oil pollution, industrial wastewater discharge, environmental compliance, and process control.

The OCMA-500 offers simple operation with reliable performance, allowing users to obtain consistent oil concentration results in a short time. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for laboratory benches as well as mobile or on-site testing setups. The analyzer is designed to comply with common oil-in-water analysis practices using non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) detection, providing stable and repeatable measurements.
