OSIL (Ocean Scientific International Limited), a Havant based oceanographic marine instrument and systems provider, has successfully completed an order to supply a bespoke environmental monitoring system for monitoring a Power Station outfall.
The outfall required monitoring for pH, Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen to prevent any negative effects on the surrounding coastal areas. The very high water flows in these areas presented a problem for OSIL; keeping the Sonde at the correct level. OSIL selected a high flow navigation buoy as the most suitable platform, and the YSI 6820 Sonde was fitted with conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH sensors as the heart of the system.
Having a boat shape and a solid keel the buoy was able to keep station in the high flows and more importantly keep the Sonde at 1m below the surface. The system is a highly proactive installation by a responsible management team enabling them to protect the surrounding environment at the highest possible level.
OSIL Director, Richard Williams explains, "The monitoring system has been calibrated to provide precise data that will allow the power station to monitor levels accurately. This kind of equipment is vital in ensuring that any change is detected before it becomes an issue in the wider environment".
