Hi,
I am working on a project to separate oil from water. My idea is to transport mixture to a transparent plastic case through pipes and then carry conduction and optical tests. Depending on the tests, the fluid will be transported to two separate containers. I need to ask , if someone has ever used IR sensors to detect colour of liquid through transparent plastic case. As I cannot plant my IR sensors inside, will planting them outside work? What is the most suitable solution for optical detection.
Thanks.
