ZT-100 Water In Oil Monitors
Total water detection in lubrication, hydraulic, fuel, and vegetable oil systems
Detect Water Before It Damages Equipment
Water contamination in oil systems causes accelerated wear, corrosion, and premature equipment failure. Whether in marine engine lubrication, power plant turbines, hydraulic circuits, or vegetable oil processing, knowing total water content is essential for protecting valuable machinery and maintaining product quality.
The ZT-100 Water In Oil Monitor measures total water content — dissolved, free, and emulsified — in virtually any type of oil or fuel. Unlike saturation-type sensors that only detect relative humidity in oil and fail once water exceeds the saturation point, the ZT-100 provides a true volumetric water measurement well beyond saturation. This makes it effective for real-world conditions where water ingress can be sudden and severe.
Key Features
Total Water Measurement
Measures dissolved, free, and emulsified water simultaneously. No blind spots at the saturation point — works where capacitive humidity sensors cannot.
Equipment Protection
Early detection of water ingress prevents bearing wear, corrosion, and oil degradation. Guards turbines, gearboxes, hydraulic systems, and marine engines from water damage.
1-Second Response
Real-time measurement with a 1-second update rate enables immediate response to water ingress events and closed-loop contamination control.
Low Power, Loop Powered
Operates on 24 VDC with a maximum power consumption of 0.66 W. Standard 4–20mA loop-powered installation — no external power supply required.
Automatic Temperature Compensation
Advanced proprietary algorithm compensates for temperature effects on both water and oil phases. Select the oil type in the configuration software for optimal accuracy.
High Sensitivity
Detection sensitivity from 0.01% water content. Catches trace-level contamination before it reaches levels that cause equipment damage or product quality issues.
Product Range
ZT-100 Water In Oil Monitor
General Industrial
The standard Water In Oil Monitor for lubrication, hydraulic, and industrial oil systems. Detects water contamination in engine oil, gear box oil, turbine oil, hydraulic fluid, and other mineral or synthetic oils.
- Diesel engines, marine engines, gas turbines
- Hydraulic power units and gear boxes
- Transformer oil monitoring
- Steel mill lubrication and quenching systems
ZT-100 Water In CPO Monitor
Vegetable Oil
Purpose-configured for real-time water content measurement in crude palm oil and other vegetable oils. Calibrated for the dielectric properties of CPO, enabling accurate process control in palm oil mills and refineries.
- Crude palm oil (CPO) processing
- Vegetable oil refining
- Edible oil quality control
- Continuous inline monitoring at mill outlets
ZT-100 Water In Fuel Emulsions (WIFE)
Marine Fuel
Designed to measure and control water-in-fuel emulsions for marine engines. Water-in-fuel emulsion technology reduces NOx emissions and improves combustion efficiency — but only when the emulsion ratio is precisely maintained.
- Marine engine water-in-fuel emulsion control
- Heavy fuel oil (HFO) water content
- Emulsion ratio monitoring and feedback
- Diesel fuel contamination detection
Applications
Marine Engines & Lubrication
Monitor lubrication oil quality in marine diesel engines, gearboxes, and stern tube systems. Detect water ingress from cooler leaks or seal failures before bearing damage occurs.
Turbine Lubrication Oil
Protect gas and steam turbine bearings in power plants by continuously monitoring water contamination in the lubrication circuit. Early warning enables scheduled maintenance rather than unplanned shutdowns.
Hydraulic Systems
Water contamination accelerates wear on hydraulic pumps, valves, and actuators. Inline monitoring guards hydraulic power units in manufacturing, mobile equipment, and industrial presses.
Steel Mills
Monitor water content in rolling mill lubrication and quenching oil systems where high temperatures and water-cooled equipment create constant risk of water contamination.
Refineries & Petrochemical
Track water contamination in process oils, heat transfer fluids, and compressor lubrication systems. Prevent emulsification and corrosion in downstream equipment.
Aviation Fuel
Verify water-free fuel quality at storage terminals and during aircraft fuelling operations. Continuous inline monitoring supplements periodic sampling and filter checks.
