Oil sheen sensor for marine applications
ID-227 Oil sheen sensor
wave rider float maintains position
minimal maintenance
early detection

The LEAKWISE ID-227 Oil Sheen Sensor for marine applications is used for the early detection, warning and control of oil leaks and spills in off-shore applications including intake towers of desalination plants, oil tanker loading bouoys and piers, oil rigs and lagoons.
The ID-227 is also deployed in lakes and rivers, open channels and retention ponds.
The ID-227 system consists of a:
- Sensor with a high frequency transmitter mounted on a wave rider float
- Separate controller
- Cable connecting the sensor and controller (wired model only)
- Low oil alarm — Detection of a predefined layer of hydrocarbons
- High oil alarm — Detection of a hydrocarbon layer at a second predefined thickness
The ID-227 is used in conjunction with one of three controllers, depending on the application.
- The PS-220 Controller is an analog signal processor and power supply in a NEMA 4 enclosure, and supports a single ID-220 Leakwise sensor.
- The SLC-220 Digital Signal Processor for Multiple (2 / 4 standard, more in a network) ID-220 Series sensor support, with various output options, including relay, lights, 4-20 mA, LCD, Modbus in RS-232 and RS-485 communication, and cellular remote connectivity.
- The WSP-220 Wireless communication – Point-to-Point data radio.
