GE Power & Water Water & Process Technologies Fact Sheet ID-227WL/PTP Oil Sheen Monitoring System Point-to-Point Wireless System for Marine Applications Applications The Leakwise* ID-227WL/PTP Oil Sheen Monitoring System is a floating wireless sensor that detects the prsence and monitors the buildup of hydrocarbons on water. The ID-227WL/PTP is designed for installation offshore. Applications include detecting and monitoring floating hydrocarbons near the intake of desalination plants, jetty and monobuoy oil loading terminals, and oil rigs and platforms; as well as in ports, lakes, rivers, open channels, and large retention ponds. ID-227WL/PTP System Description This system has a wireless oil detection unit mounted on a wave rider buoy and a wireless data receiver unit. The oil detection unit includes:  A wave rider buoy 镕 An oil detection sensor  An integrated wireless transmitter with antenna Օ A solar panel with battery and battery charger  A sensor AutoCleaner unit The receiver includes: Օ An integrated wireless receiver with antenna  A digital controller with display and keypad Օ Various output options  A power supply The wave rider buoy is designed to maintain the sensor's detecting antenna at the liquid/air interface, despite flucխtuations in the liquid level due to waves and tide. The sensor can detect the presence of 0.3 mm (0.01 in) oil on water and monitor the layer growth up to 20 mm (0.79 in) reliably, repeatedly, and without false alarms. Continuous built-in diagnostics monitor system operation. Principle of Operation The Leakwise ID-227WL/PTP sensor uses an industry-leading technology of Electromagnetic Energy Absorption. A high-frequency signal is transmitted through the liq-uid/air interface to the antenna immersed in the moni-tored fluids. Higher energy absorption of the fluid causes more loading on the antenna. Since water absorbs more energy than hydrocarbons and air, the loading in water is higher. If the antenna is surrounded by an oil layer or an oil/water mixture, the loading is reduced in proportion to the reduction in water content. This unique, patented technique enables the detection of small layers of oil. Furthermore, it enables continuous monitoring of an oil buildup and the measurement of its thickness.
