LEAKWISE Oil Sheen Sensors: Advanced Detection and Monitoring Solutions

LEAKWISE Oil Sheen Sensors offer cutting-edge solutions for detecting and on-line monitoring of thin and thick layers of hydrocarbons on water surfaces. Utilizing our proprietary Electromagnetic Energy Absorption Technology, these sensors ensure precise early detection and continuous monitoring of spills, helping industries prevent environmental damage and maintain regulatory compliance. This technology works by measuring changes in energy absorption when hydrocarbons are present on water, allowing reliable detection, even in challenging conditions.

Our oil sheen sensor lineup comprises two main families, catering to different operational environments:

  1. ID-221 Series: Designed for wet sumps, these sensors require a minimum water level of 30 cm to operate. They are ideal for applications where water is consistently present, such as storage tanks, groundwater wells, and water treatment facilities.
  2. ID-223 Series: Engineered for versatility, these sensors are suitable for both wet and dry sumps. They can function in environments that may alternate between dry conditions and water-filled states, making them perfect for stormwater runoff areas, transformer containments, oil/water separators and other locations with variable or stable water levels.

This diverse range of sensors ensures that LEAKWISE can provide appropriate solutions for a wide variety of industrial applications, ensuring reliable hydrocarbon detection and monitoring.

ID-221 Oil Sheen Sensor

Detects thin layers of hydrocarbons in wet sumps, storage tanks, and groundwater wells. Ideal for early detection in oil/water separators and stormwater systems, and in very deep sumps.

ID-223/500 Oil Sheen Sensor

For water level fluctuations up to 500 mm, providing hydrocarbon detection in storage tanks, transformer sumps, oil/water separators and wastewater systems.

ID-223/2000 Oil Sheen Sensor

Handles up to 5,000 mm water fluctuation, perfect for larger containments like retention ponds.

ID-223/2500 Oil Sheen Sensor

Detects hydrocarbons in environments with up to 5,500 mm water fluctuation, ideal for small area sumps and deep sumps.
