Slick Sleuth Oil Spill Detector
Intro: A novel, verstile, non-contact system for the monitoring and detection of oil and hydrocarbon on water.

Slick Sleuth Autonomous Oil Spill Detection Stations (ADS) are used in a wide variety of industrial and environmental applications for remotely detecting oil spills. It is a highly effective, cost-saving system designed by InterOcean Systems. Should a spill occur, the Slick Sleuth provides instant detection and notification; enabling users to contain spill and avert environmental damage, costly cleanup, and possible fines or regulatory penalties. The optical sensor detects small (micron-level) amounts of oil in real-time, and can be configured to automatically shut off pumps or valves, activate audio/visual alarms, and notify personnel and responders via computer display and/or telephone.

Slick Sleuth is designed and manufactured for deployment in rugged settings such as offshore, coasts, harbours, inland waterways, industrial spillways, sumps and separators, retention ponds, and other environments where oil spills are of concern. Slick Sleuth oil detectors are conveniently mounted above the water (typically installed 1-5 meters above target surface), facilitating ease of installation and operation, while eliminating problems inherent with other types of sensors that contact water/effluent directly. This simple above water sampling method eliminates issues such as aquatic/marine bio-fouling or fouling due to oil or debris, making the system trouble free to operate and maintain. System is also perfectly suited for spill monitoring over ground, concrete, or wet/dry drainages, wherever spill detection is warranted.

Systems consist of a stand-alone monitor, or a networked array of strategically placed monitoring stations. Each may be operated using AC power, or with a DC/solar recharge system for self-contained operation in remote settings. Data is transmitted via hardwire for integration with user’s data acquisition system, such as SCADA, PLC, or data logger. Alternatively wireless data transmission using radio, cellular/GSM, or satellite telemetry is available as required. Please consult with one of our application engineers to discuss your specific system requirements for real-time spill detection and alert.
