The INVALCO floating oil spill alarm is a unique floating sensor that continuously monitors for the accumulation of oil at the water surface.
The floating oil spill alarm sensor monitors the surface dielectric and locks in on the capacitance of the water. Oil that separates to the surface changes the capacitance field and activates the relay alarms.
This unit is normally used in sumps or containments where oil is not typically present. An upstream leak or spill that accumulates in the sump will alarm the monitor. The floating design allows the unit to track the changing water level in the sump and immediately alert operators, pumps or valves.
