Leakwise Oil-on-Water Monitoring and Detection Systems, from GE Power & Water (USA), enable early detection and mitigation of water pollution events. Leakwise detects oil sheens, monitors oil buildup, measures hydrocarbon layer thickness, alerts operators of oil presence, and shuts down pumps or valves 24/7. For years, the versatile, reliable, easy-to-use and low-maintenance Leakwise system has given hydroelectric power, petrochemical transmission and distribution, tank farm, marine and other Industries, control over potentially costly oil spills. Multiple sensors can be set up to communicate with one controller. Leakwise, used in spill mitigation plans worldwide, meets plan criteria and complies with EPA regulations.

The SLC-220 controller enables communications via a wide variety of outputs and communication interfaces for local or remote reporting, including SMS text messages to cell phones and computers, relays, 4-20 mA output, and RS-485 Modbus output to SCADA systems. Designed for low-power consumption in onshore and offshore applications without an available power source, Leakwise can be powered by an AC line, a DC line, or a battery, and operates in wired and/or wireless applications.

A variety of sensors are also available for typical applications including oil spill/leak monitoring in tank farm sumps, discharge from wastewater treatment plants, hydrocarbon pipeline pumping stations, hydroelectric and fossil fuel power plants, transformer substations, groundwater monitoring wells, remediation sites, offshore terminals, and intake of sea water desalination plants.
