Leakwise (GE Water & Process)

The Leakwise floating sensors measure the difference in absorption rates of high frequency electromagnetic energy between hydrocarbons (and other organic solvents) and water.Unlike optical and traditional electric conductivity and capacitance detection, this technology enables reliable detection regardless of level changes, waves, process upsets, oil & dirt coating, changes in water temperature, salinity, etc.The Leakwise detection systems are unique in their capability to detect the presence of very small layers of contaminating hydrocarbons starting from 0.3 mm, and to continuously monitor the growing thickness of these layers.
