VEGATABLE OIL OR FAT IN CONDENSATE

[DEREK2]

In some factories oil and/or fat is heated by steam heated coils. It can occur that the coil leaks and the oil/fat is retuned to the boiler via the condensate, before the leak is derected.
Is there any early warning system to detect these contaminants to activate dumping before they can enter the boiler.
Alternatively is there a perfectly reliable seperator to remove any oil/fat befoe the boiler.
Thank you,
Derek

I belive you can use an oil in water turbidity meter. A standard turbidity meter will not do as it will only pick up solid particles, so be careful when contacting suppliers. Try the usual analytical instrumentation suppliers.
