Rig Guard delivers cost savings
DELMAR Systems affiliate InterOcean Systems has been designing and manufacturing high performance oceanographic equipment for more than 70 years.
The company specialises in platform mooring release systems, cable handling systems for deployment and recovery of critical sensors and equipment in the offshore environment, and oil spill detection and control systems like the Slick Sleuth Rig Guard.
The Rig Guard is designed for use on offshore platforms and rigs and offers proven optical technology for real-time monitoring and alert of oil leaks and spills in offshore environments.
Each platform-based system consists of one to four oil spill detectors, housed in explosion-proof, submergible enclosures that are fully integrated with wireless communication for real-time alerts and remote system command/control.
The system is non-contact; thus, it requires minimal maintenance and no operational expense.
The mounting range can vary from near-surface, up to a maximum eight meters above sea surface.
The Rig Guard system is optimised for detection of crude oil, as well as diesel, lube oil, and slop oil on the ocean surface and waves below and around the platform, all of which may be a concern in the offshore environment.
More information on the system can be found by calling Delmar Systems on (08) 9288 4523.
