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)
The wave rider float is designed to maintain the position of the detecting antenna at the liquid/air interface, despite fluctuations in the water level due to waves and tide. It has two field adjustable alarm points:
  • 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.
