Abstract :
The prototype of an automatic oil pollution monitor using a Direct Difference Method of Total Organic Carbon Determination was built and tested. Using this monitor it was possible to specify the concentration of any oil, independent of type, in a known water sample. In the final phases of the study, preliminary investigations on oil concentration determinations in bilge water were initiated.
