LEAKWISE Agar Environmental Ltd
About us
For over thirty years, Leakwise has provided innovative instruments that are used all over the world. With over 6,500 units installed worldwide, Leakwise minimizes cleaning expenses and complies with rules to safeguard water resources while saving end users money.
Our products detect oil spills and leaks in various sectors and applications. Leakwise has developed a novel system that can accurately detect oil sheen and track the thickness of these layers as it builds-up.
Leakwise is a line of oil sheen detection and monitoring systems mounted on floating devices that use high-frequency electromagnetic energy absorption technology. The liquid surface is continuously monitored by a receiving antenna and a high-frequency transmitter. Changes in the absorption rate of electromagnetic energy are more noticeable in water than in hydrocarbons.

Leakwise Oil-on-Water Detection and Monitoring Systems
* Continuous on-line monitoring with self-diagnostics. * Certified for operation in hazardous areas. The sensors are Intrinsically Safe. * Proven long-term reliability – Leakwise provides reliable early detection of oil leaks or spills even if the sensor is coated with dirt or oil, or there are variations in water salinity, temperature, liquid level or liquid turbulence. * Easy installation and setup. * Low maintenance – With Leakwise there are no parts to replace and the sensor operates essentially maintenance free over extended periods of time. * Versatility – Leakwise is available in several application-specific models, that can be easily installed in sumps, retaining tanks or other containments. Our company and distributors help customers to select the system that will best fit their application. * Thickness measurement – Leakwise not only detects an hydrocarbon sheen, but can measure the buildup of hydrocarbon layer in the range of 0.3 to 20 mm, 0.3 to 25 mm, 1 to 100 mm, or 1 to 200 mm. * Alarms – Leakwise can initiate visual or audible alarms, messages and controls at set-points that can easily be adjusted. * Controls – Leakwise can activate skimmers, discharge pumps, shutoff or diverting valves, or other containment controls with remote or local relay contacts.

Ethanol in Water Sensor - NEW - World's First!
Leakwise ID-223ET sensors detect the presence of ethanol in water or of Gasoline-Ethanol mixtures spilled to clean water. The sensor will detect the leak also in dry sumps. In addition, these sensors monitor the build-up of the detected ethanol concentration and provide leak trend. Early spill detection and monitoring is done at: • Around above-ground Ethanol or Gasoline-Ethanol mixtures storage tanks • Oil/water separators and treatment plants • Stormwater run-off at Ethanol manufacturing / loading areas • Wastewater sewer systems at Ethanol manufacturing / loading areas The sensor can be installed in sumps, canals, retention ponds etc. In addition, the ID-223ET monitors wastewater treatment plant discharge to ensure regulatory compliance and alerts plant operators of any upsets in the treatment process. These sensors can monitor leaks of additional soluble hydrocarbons, such as Methanol.
