What Is OilScreenCreosote® Used For?

This product was developed in response to a request for a fast, inexpensive test that will screen for Creosote in soil, sand and gravel. In order to provide a maximum visual contrast against the very dark creosote material this kit has been specially formulated with a fluorescing dye that works with the red Sudan IV to stain Creosote a fluorescent red.

The OilScreenCreosote field screening test kit is an inexpensive, simple, and virtually instant qualitative test for identifying the presence of Cresote in soil. The creosote test kit was designed to overcome the historic difficulties with field screening tests and was therefore developed according to a very specific set of criteria:

  1. OilScreenCreosote kit is a "go"/"no-go" presence/absence test
  2. OilScreenCreosote kit will detect Creosote down to the 500ppm range
  3. OilScreenCreosote results are immediately available and require no specialized measurement equipment
  4. OilScreenCreosote tests have simple, easy to read instructions and can be used by utility or industrial contractors after a couple of minutes training.

How Does The OilScreenCreosote Test Kit Work?

Suspected Creosote contaminated soil is added to the sample bottle, to which potable water is also added and the contents shaken vigorously. A rapidly dissolving cube (containing oil staining red Sudan IV) is attached to the cap and another cube containing a fluorescing dye is included in the jar.

The Sudan IV highlights the presence of Creosote by turning it a bright red.

NOTE: The range of detection is approximate because a soil's affinity for oil will vary.

OilScreenCreosote Does Not Replace Quantitative Field Screening Tests, However:

During the excavation of contaminated soil, the OilScreenCreosote test kit will permit rapid assessment of the depth and direction of Creosote in soil, thus reducing the time and costs typically associated with field screening methodologies.

NOTE: Esters (detergents) are the only “known” substance to interfere with the dye’s ability to stain petroleum hydrocarbon products. This may be applicable when screening for Ester based (i.e. synthetic) motor oils.

Industries That Would Benefit From Using The OilScreenCreosote Kits Include:

Forestry, environmental, aerospace, shipping/marine, railways, manufacturing, petrochemical, utilities and construction.
