LDI ROW ATEX EXD Non-Contact Oil Detectors
The ROW ATEX EXD is an autonomous non-contact sensor for the detection of oil on water in hazardous areas including Zone 1 designations.
- Explosion Proof (ATEX/EXD): Certified for Zone 1 & 2 explosive gas/dust atmospheres, preventing ignition.
- Non-Contact Optical Sensing: UV LED fluorescence detects oil films, minimizing fouling and maintenance.
- High Sensitivity: Detects oil films as thin as ≤1 µm.
- Long-Range Detection: Monitors water surfaces up to 8–10 meters away.
- Low Power Consumption: <2 W, suitable for solar or battery-powered systems.
- Wide Oil Detection: Detects diesel, crude, motor oil, kerosene, gasoline, and more.
- Durable Housing: Aluminum or 316L Stainless Steel, IP68-rated for harsh conditions.
- Versatile Outputs & Connectivity: Relay & 4–20 mA standard; optional RS-485 (Modbus), RS-232, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, GSM.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Provides instant alerts for rapid spill response.
- Oil Rigs & Refineries
- Ports & Shipping
- Water Treatment Plants (Industrial & Municipal)
- Power Plants (Hydro, Thermal)
- Airports & Petrochemical Facilities
- Detection Principle: Non-contact optical method using UV LED to excite oil fluorescence.
