Ocean Scientific Instruments Limited (OSIL) have announced the launch of their innovative range of “Beach Buoys” designed for environmental water quality monitoring.

The Beach Buoys offer real-time, automated monitoring for water quality in open water sites, aiding organizations in maintaining safe water conditions while also reducing operational costs.

These buoys are specifically crafted for ensuring regulatory compliance, supporting scientific environmental research, implementing preventative monitoring measures, and safeguarding public health. They are particularly beneficial for municipalities, research institutions, and industries such as aquaculture, wastewater management, and desalination plants to remotely track crucial water parameters.

Equipped with advanced sensors capable of measuring parameters like coliforms, Blue-Green Algae, Dissolved Oxygen, and hydrocarbons, along with location-appropriate telemetry systems, the Beach Buoy systems provide early alerts for pollution events, algal blooms, and contamination, facilitating swift response actions. By automating water quality monitoring processes, organizations can minimize the need for manual sampling, optimize resource allocation, and ensure compliance with environmental standards.

OSIL offers two sizes of Beach Buoy platforms – a 1.2m option suitable for longer deployments spanning from spring to autumn, and a smaller 0.6m platform ideal for short-term deployment during the summer months.
