The development of a photoacoustic Instrument for the monitoring of oil and other hydrocarbons in water. (1995)
Journal Article
Mackenzie, H., & Binnie, D. (1995). The development of a photoacoustic Instrument for the monitoring of oil and other hydrocarbons in water. Petroleum review, 49, 555-557

The present methods for the detection of oil in discharge water are based either on chemical analysis of intermittent samples or bypass pipelines with instrumentation to detect either dissolved or dispersed hydrocarbons by a variety of optical techni...

Application of pulsed laser photoacoustic sensors in monitoring oil contamination in water (1995)
Journal Article
Hodgson, P., Quan, K., MacKenzie, H., Freeborn, S., Hannigan, J., Johnston, E., …Binnie, T. (1995). Application of pulsed laser photoacoustic sensors in monitoring oil contamination in water. Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, 29(1-3), 339-344. https://

A pulsed laser photoacoustic measurement technique, utilising laser diode sources, has been developed for the detection of oil contamination in water. The measurement of oil-contaminated water samples of oil concentration ranging from 0 to 900 mg 1−1...

PVDF sensors with low-temperature bonding techniques (1995)
Journal Article
Webster, S., & Binnie, T. (1995). PVDF sensors with low-temperature bonding techniques. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 49(1-2), 61-65. https://doi.org/10.1016/0924-4247%2895%2901010-x

The performances of poly-vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) thin-film infrared sensors with alternative bonding methods are presented in comparison with a more established method. A responsivity of 25 V (W cm−2)−1 is achieved using a commercially available a... Read More about PVDF sensors with low-temperature bonding techniques.
