ID-223 Oil Sheen Monitoring

The Leakwise ID-223 sensors detect the presence of oil and monitors the buildup of thin layers of hydrocarbons on water or in dry sumps and containment areas.

Many petroleum and power companies use it for early detection, warning, and control of oil leaks and spills in wet or dry sumps, tanks, ditches. Other applications include hydrocarbon detection and monitoring in oil/water separators, cooling water trenches, storm water runoffs, retention ponds, boiler condensate tanks, and wastewater sewer systems.

The ID-223 sensor has a high frequency transmitter that is maintained at the air/water interface and transmits a signal to the grounding antenna located below the water surface. The ID-223 can detect a 0.3 mm (0.01 inch) oil layer and continues to measure layer growth up to 20 mm (1 inch). The grounding antenna is located around the circumference of the sensor and provides high measurement sensitivity due to the sensor’s large diameter of 160 mm (6.3 inch).
