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 and detect oil layer thickness (as little as 0.3 mm). Leakwise offers an affordable solution for oil leak detection.

A Leakwise system consists of a wired or wireless signal processor and one or more sensors, depending on the application. Leakwise sensors use high frequency electromagnetic energy absorption floating sensors, which enable reliable monitoring of hydrocarbon on water regardless of dirt or oil coating of the sensor or change in water level or water salinity. Leakwise offers wired, wireless and GSM capability.

Applications include oil leak monitoring at refineries, petrochemical plants, pipelines, 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.
