Description

Oil spills entering the drains can seriously jeopardize the operation of wastewater treatment plants. In this case it is crucial to detect the leak early and prevent the oil reaching the aeration tanks, for example. LDIs ROW oil on water detector ensures rapid and safe detection and allows suitable shut off at the inlet. The sensors are non-contact which reduces the risk of sensor fouling or false alarms. They are available in both Ex and safe area versions.

With the ROW’s optical technology for non-contact monitoring, there is no marine biofouling or oil contaminating the sensor. This limits the need for regular cleaning.

The Science

To detect oil slicks as thin as a single micron from up to 10m above the water, the ROW pulses a UV beam at the surface and excites any oil molecules in the target area. Using oil’s native fluorescence, ROW is calibrated to identify the specific wavelength signal of oil and send out an alert.

After 20 years of developing remote-sensing systems, LDI has mastered the technology better than anyone else.

Industry-leading Sensitivity – 1µm

Advanced software algorithms are calibrated to detect oil down to single-micron layers and minimise false alarms.
