OPTIMARE SpillWatch! non-contact oil-on-surface detector

The OPTIMARE SpillWatch! is a non-contact oil-on-surface detector that provides users with an alert enabling countermeasures to stop or limit spillage — reducing cost for remediation and clean-up and limiting damage to the environment.

SpillWatch! sensor technology is based on fluorescence excitation and detection. Its optical set-up and all-solid-state optoelectronic components guarantee high sensitivity and allow low-maintenance operation. The system automatically filters out ambient conditions (such as sunlight), providing detection under all light, weather and surface conditions.

The OPTIMARE SpillWatch! is designed and manufactured for deployment in harsh and rugged environments with an IP66-rated weatherproof stainless steel housing. It offers real-time, around-the-clock detection and control of oil spills for the petrochemical industry, pipelines, power plants, harbours, desalination and aquaculture.
