Automated Control introduces the Optimare SpillWatch non-contact oil-on-surface detector.
The SpillWatch provides users with a timely alert enabling countermeasures to stop/limit spillage and therefore reducing cost for remediation and clean-up and limiting damage to the environment.
In case of a spill, the SpillWatch provides an instant warning. Its sensor technology is based on fluorescence excitation and detection. Its innovative optical set-up and all-solid-state opto-electronic components are said to 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.
The SpillWatch is designed and manufactured for deployment in harsh and rugged environments, IP66 rated in a weatherproof stainless steel housing.
Features include:
- Real-time around-the-clock detection and control of oil spills for
