The OilTechw² sensor can be deployed in any application where the surface of the water is relatively calm, the system will react rapidly to both partial and complete films of oil on the water surface. The measuring system is highly stable and only needs occasional validation to ensure reliable operation.
The unsinkable floating sensor has a dual hull designed to channel any oil passing through the centre of the float so that it is presented to the detector. The non-contact infrared sensor emits light that is reflected from the water surface, any oil that is present increases the amount of light reflected and this is then converted into the desired output signals. The float is supplied with two fixing cables and a weight to keep it stationary and correctly orientated. In addition a range of mounting accessories can be offered to suit the individual requirements of each application.
