Oil Film Detector

1. Overview

• The Model ODL-1600 monitors a water surface for the presence of an oil film floating on the surface. The instrument projects a laser beam onto the water surface and measures the differences in the reflection properties between water and oil. This model is the most recent in a series of oil on water monitors. These have been field proven over decades and are used in a wide variety of installations worldwide. These instruments include the Models ODL-12, ODL-20 and OF-10
• This model complements our existing range. If installation in hazardous areas is required, we recommend our ATEX certified version which is has full European compliance for installation in IEC Zone 1 hazardous areas.
• The design of the model ODL-1600 is the result of decades real world experience and features many new enhancements including faster signal processing, improved optical design and continuous scanning laser system. These design enhancements enable the Model ODL-1600 to offer improved oil detection even for non-ideal water surfaces such as those with bubbles present.
• This model complements our existing range. If installation in hazardous areas is required, we recommend our intrinsically safe Model SODL-20 version. The Model SODL-20 has official certification showing compliance with the relevant IEC standards. Please refer to a separate specification sheet for information on this particular version.

2. Features

• Non-contact detection using a laser-beam.
• Not limited to detection of just hydrocarbon oils. Optical system can detect other oils such a silicon based oils.
• Easy installation on stanchion pole.
• Wide installation distance of 0.3~3.0m (up to 5.0m in ideal conditions) above water surface with no effect on performance for water level variation within this range.
• Controller/transmitter can be used with up to two detectors (optional dual channel feature).
• Optical filter system eliminates affects of sunlight and water surface disturbance on detection performance.
• Scanning laser beam provides enlarged detection area.
• ATEX certified version available.
