Early Detection of Ballast Tank and Groundwater Contamination
Jun 09 2010
Leakwise Oil-on-Water Monitoring and Detection Systems from GE Analytical Instruments (USA) provide early, reliable, low maintenance warning of hydrocarbon leaks and spills. Leakwise systems provide reliable coverage 24/7 with no false alarms, operate virtually maintenance free for years, detect and measure oil layer thickness (as little as 0.3 mm)
and offer an affordable solution for oil leak detection.
Flexible Leakwise systems can comprise a single analog sensor/ controller or multi-unit digital networks, with wired signal, wireless radio, and GSM communications capability.
The unique sensor technology is based on high frequency electromagnetic energy absorption Each sensor is designed to give reliable monitoring of hydrocarbon layers even when it is coated with dirt or oil, or encounters changes in water level or water pH or salinit.
A new application for Leakwise is monitoring oil leaks into clean water ballast tanks. Leakwise has proven to be an effective method for controlling oil crossover into clean water ballast tanks on floating barges – proof that Leakwise strengthens any vulnerable discharge points in SPCC plans.
Other applications include oil leak monitoring at refineries, petrochemical plants, pipelines, tank farms, gas stations, power plants, underground transmission, remote substations, transformer switchyards, marine ports, airports, steel and aluminum manufacturing plants, groundwater and stormwater runoff, wastewater treatment plants and more.
