Argus oil-in-water monitors for produced water

Customer challenge:

Operators of offshore and onshore oil and gas facilities must verify that produced water discharged to sea or reinjected to reservoir complies with strict environmental limits. Many conventional oil-in-water analyzers struggle with fouling, unstable readings, and sensitivity to changing water chemistry. This leads to unreliable measurements, frequent maintenance, and uncertainty in compliance—forcing operators either to over-treat produced water or risk exceeding discharge limits.

Argus® solution:

The Argus® oil-in-water monitor is designed to deliver stable, representative measurements in demanding produced-water environments. It uses fluorescence-based detection combined with automated ultrasonic cleaning, keeping the optical surfaces free of fouling and ensuring consistent measurement performance even in streams containing oil droplets, solids, and biological growth. By maintaining optical clarity and minimizing manual intervention, Argus provides continuous, reliable monitoring directly in the process. Its robust design helps ensure that measurement trends reflect real process conditions.

Customer value:

Argus enables operators to maintain confident environmental compliance, detect separator performance issues early, and reduce analyzer maintenance offshore - supporting efficient and reliable produced water management.
