A novel Oil leak detection system has been developed and deployed with several clients in the US and Canada. The system can be rapidly deployed to provide leak detection to existing assets. It is based on a smart coating that can detect the presence of a liquid hydrocarbon in a few minutes with no false positives. Leak Alarms are sent via a custom IOT box that has either a cellular or satellite communication system to cloud based asset and data management system.
