Every
Environmental Manager dreads an oil spill.
Clean up is time consuming and expensive.
By some estimates, the cost of responding
to a 1000 gallon oil spill is as much as $US
581,000(1). But clean-up costs are minor compared
to the negative impact on an organization’s
brand and image. And repetitive oil spills
– even minor ones - lead to increased scrutiny
from environmental regulators.
Applied
Microsystems provides an early warning system
to detect spills and leaks of oil-on-water.
Our system - Spill-Sentry™ - provides 24
hour real-time detection of even minute
quantities of hydrocarbons. Spill Sentry
is 100% reliable in rough weather or night
conditions, when traditional inspection
techniques are ineffective.
Earlier
– and more reliable – detection of oil spills
means faster containment and reduced clean-up
costs. Once oil-on-water is detected, Spill
Sentry automatically places telephone calls
to the key contacts of your choice, enabling
immediate evaluation of the situation.
The
benefits of our oil-on-water alert system
include:
Total confidence that
spills are reliably detected means fewer
nasty surprises
Faster slick containment
results in a significant reduction in
clean-up costs
Implementation of leading
edge environmental technology generates
positive press, image & brand
Peace-of-mind from
using OHMSETT tested equipment
Applied
Microsystems’ Spill-Sentry™ comprises sensor
buoys – deployed where oil is detected –
and a PC base station where data is processed.
The system is extremely sensitive and able
to detect as few as five microns of hydrocarbon-on-water.
The array of detectable hydrocarbons is
extensive and includes crude, gasoline,
aviation fuel, diesel, bilge, and bunker.
Spill-Sentry™ comes with built-in intelligence
to minimize false-positives or false-negatives.
Deployment
is easy and maintenance requirements light.
The Spill-Sentry™ system includes the flexibility
to add options like solar power, radio or
satellite communication capabilities, and
additional sensor suites.
