For further information please get in touch with OPTIMARE. Application The detection of oil, including crude oil, diesel/fuel oil, motor oil, lube oil, gasoline, food oils etc. spilled to the water or land surface is widely required in industrial and environmental applications. A timely alert enables countermeasures not only limiting damage to the environment but also reducing cost for remediation and clean-up. Technique The OPTIMARE SpillWatch!® sensor is installed downward-looking, several meters above the surface. The sensor technology is based on fluorescence excitation and detection. Its innovative optical setup and all-solid-state opto-electronic components guarantee high sensitivity and allow low-maintenance operation. The system automatically filters out ambient conditions (e.g. sunlight), providing highly reliable detection under all light, weather and surface conditions. Action In case of a spill, the OPTIMARE SpillWatch!® provides an instant warning, enabling users to take countermeasures, e.g. shutting off pumps or valves and notify personnel via a variety of interfaces and wireless options. The OPTIMARE SpillWatch!® is designed and manufactured for deployment in rugged s
