Hydrocarbons in municipal water supplies, such as fresh water and desalination systems, are commonly limited to less than one part per million.

Surface water from rivers, lakes, the sea with marine traffic, nearby pipelines, or regular flooding can be contaminated by hydrocarbons. Freshwater treatment systems can be damaged by hydrocarbons or allow them to pass through undetected.

Desalination systems including RO membranes can be irreversibly damaged by the presence of hydrocarbons. Continuous monitoring of water source intakes can prevent system contamination and subsequent damage.

Accurate, low maintenance monitoring systems such as the TD-4100 XD and XDC have been protecting water intakes worldwide for more than 20 years.
