Hydrocarbon Detection & Monitoring

| Print | E-mail
Chelsea Technologies Group has a proven range of in-situ sensors optimised for monitoring crude and refined oil from coastal margins to deep ocean. Originally designed for military use these highly reliable, robust, high sensitivity fluorometers are in use around the world. There has been an unprecedented demand for these sensors following the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Applications include:
  • Hydrocarbon detection around drilling rigs & sub-sea pipelines
  • Oil spill monitoring
  • Airport apron pollution runoff
  • Coastal pollution monitoring
  • Environmental impact assessment
  • Pipeline leak detection of hydrocarbon product or inject, fluorescent dyes
  

 

Products to choose from:

UviLuxIconUviLux Fluorometer: Small low cost, highly sensitive digital fluorometers to monitor in real-time concentrations of refined hydrocarbons (365nm) or crude hydrocarbons (450nm).  Rated to 600m.

UVAQUAtrackaIconUV AquaTracka Fluorometer: Extremely sensitive UV  fluorometers for the measurement in real-time of refined hydrocarbons (360nm) or crude hydrocarbons (440nm). Rated to 6000m with optional ambient light baffling cowl for use in surface waters.

Sub-sea Pipeline Leak DetectionSub-sea Pipeline Leak Detection: Finds leaks by sensing the fluorescence of leaking hydrocarbons or, for pipeline commissioning, by introducing fluorescent dyes (such as Rhodamine, Fluorescein or Agma).

UVAQUAtrackaFASToceanUV AquaTracka / FastOcean combination: The UV AquaTracka is now being used in combination with the FastOcean FRRf to monitor the effects of the oil on the primary productivity of the Gulf.
