The REFOIL calibration solution is designed for the adjustment and verification of fluorometric sensors used in the detection of oils and refined fuels in water. These sensors use optical technology based on fluorescence to identify aromatic compounds present in hydrocarbons such as gasoline, diesel, or BTEX mixtures.

During the calibration process, the sensor is exposed to a standard solution containing aromatic compounds with fluorescent properties similar to refined hydrocarbons, which allows establishing the relative sensitivity of the sensor and ensuring consistent readings during environmental monitoring.

The REFOIL sensor calibration is typically performed using a two-point procedure, establishing a zero point and a reference point with a standard solution of approximately 10 ppm. This process allows determining the slope and sensitivity of the sensor, ensuring stable and repeatable results in the field.

Thanks to its ready-to-use format, the solution facilitates periodic calibration of sensors during environmental monitoring campaigns or maintenance of water quality measurement equipment.
