Abstract

The use of FOCS for environmental applications, namely, for monitoring spills of HC or leaking underground HC storage tanks, is discussed. The current FOCS design comes in two configurations: the field unit, permanently installed at one or more monitoring sites, and connected to a central monitoring station, and the hand-held unit, designed for rapid on-site evaluation. The sensor's performance in HC vapor at 100 percent relative humidity and at 20 C, and at the vapor-water interface is illustrated.
