PS-220

PS-220 – analog controller for oil detection

PS-220 is an analog controller from Leakwise used to power and process signals from Leakwise oil-on-water sensors. The controller provides alarm handling, relay outputs and signal transmission for spill and leakage monitoring systems.
ID-225

ID-225 – hydrocarbon layer thickness sensor

ID-225 is a Leakwise sensor for continuous measurement of hydrocarbon layer thickness on water surfaces. It is used for monitoring oil and water separators, sumps and process water where both the presence and build-up of hydrocarbons must be tracked over time.
Many petroleum and power companies use it for monitoring and control of oil layers in typical applications such as: Remediation Control, Skim Tanks, Monitoring Oil / Water Separators and Wastewater Sewer Monitoring.
ID-223

ID-223 – oil sheen detection sensor

ID-223 is a Leakwise sensor designed to detect very thin oil sheens on water surfaces. The sensor provides early warning of minor spills and is used where rapid detection of hydrocarbons is essential to limit environmental impact. Typical areas of use are oil tanks, water separators and sewage systems. The sensor can detect as little as 0.3mm of oil and monitors changes in oil levels up to 20mm. In addition, it can handle different water level variations and can be installed in hazardous environments with the help of protective pipes. The product is ideal for environmental monitoring and compliance with emission control regulations.
ID-221

ID-221 – oil sheen and hydrocarbon sensor

ID-221 is a Leakwise sensor for continuous detection of oil sheen and hydrocarbons on water surfaces. It is used in environmentally sensitive applications such as groundwater wells, sumps and containment areas where early alarm functionality is critical. It uses electromagnetic absorption to reliably detect oil, and can sense layers as little as 0.3mm thick. The sensor delivers continuous real-time data and alarms, making it ideal for early warning and spill prevention in environmentally sensitive areas.
