OIL LEAKAGE MONITORING

Did you know that oil leaks are responsible for a majority of fire incidents on ships?

It can be difficult, if not impossible, to detect an oil leakage before it is too late. Many of these oil spills cannot be seen or smelled by humans and they pose a threat to everyone who breathes the air around the leak location. Here at Daspos, we offer an oil leak detection system that is suitable for all ships and that will keep you and your crewmembers safe.

Why are oil leak detection systems important?

Oil leaks can indeed be damaging to the overall work environment if left unchecked. In the case of a pipe fracture or a connector fail, oil will leak and hazardous chemicals are released into the surroundings causing injury to people who find themselves nearby. However, it is possible to prevent this with an oil spill detection that protects you by monitoring the possibility of leaks before it is too late. It consists of a filter that detects air borne oil mist and oil spray in combination with a gas detector that will track the gases and alert you to hazardous environments, giving you the time to ensure the safety of the people onboard.

It is important to prevent a high level of flammable and toxic gasses, and an oil leakage monitoring system is one of the solutions for a safer work environment. With a system like ours, you can spend less time worrying about environmental pollution and other things that can possibly go wrong due to pipeline leakage.

How does an oil leakage monitoring system work?

The machine is installed on the ship and will alert before it is too late, and alarms will ring when an outbreak is happening. Here, electrochemical sensors are used for early detection of a wide range of hydrocarbon based oils. This system is highly sensitive and emits audible and visible alarm when the mist or fumes come in contact with the build-in sensors after an oil spill.
