    Modern Hexane Extractable Material Analysis in Wastewater Samples

    n-Hexane-extractable material (HEM), often termed oil & grease, is a measurement used around the world to help assess water pollution due to a variety of hydrocarbons, including  dissolved aromatics, benzene, toluene, xylene and dispersed polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatics, naphthenic and fatty acids. 

    In this application note, the measurement of the extracted material is done using a balance in regulatory methods US EPA 1664, ISO 11349 and Standard Methods 5520G, providing a simple and inexpensive detection step.
