Features

  • Tool for detecting polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
  • Ultraviolet‑induced fluorescence (UVIF) response to PAHs
  • Real‑time profiling of petroleum contaminants with qualitative concentration
  • LDNA detection, including gasoline, diesel, creosote, jet fuel, crude oil, bitumen, and hydraulic oils
  • Detection levels as low as 10 ppm (LDNA and soil‑dependent)
  • CPT‑based profiling for stratigraphy and groundwater conditions

Advantages

  • Fast: 2 cm (approximately 1 inch) per second
  • Cost‑effective: cheaper than sampling and laboratory testing
  • Continuous profiling: no missing data or uncertainty
  • Reproducible logging / rapid spatial distribution
  • Stratigraphic relationships / geological controls when combined with CPT
  • Digital data easily modeled using 3D software
  • Portable and versatile — works with CPT rigs, drilling rigs, or direct‑push units
  • Can advance using CPT or as a standalone tool

Applications

  • Environmental site investigation services
  • High‑resolution site characterization (similar to UVOST‑CPT)
  • Hydrocarbon contaminant detection
