When a spill is detected, the Spill View software telephones response team members. A visual and audible alarm also goes off at the base station.
The benefits of our oil polution 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
- Earlier spill detection
equals better environmental stewardship
- Implementation of leading
edge environmental technology generates
positive press, image & brand
- Peace-of-mind from using
OHMSETT tested equipment

Microsystems' Spill-Sentry™ comprises
of sensor buoy- deployed where oil would
be 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. Spill-Sentry™ detection
encompased all areas of oil polution. 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.
The buoys communicate with the base station via cable, radio, or satellite communication protocols. Each buoy sends sample data to the base station, where the data is analyzed to determine if a spill has occurred. The sample frequency is programmable by the user.
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.
