Abstract:
Marine pollution by oil spill caused environmental haz.ards, this problem
requires a low-cost system for the detection of oil spills efficiently and able to provide
accurate warnings when the accident happened. Such a system is necessary to control
the spread of oil and speed up the cleaning process. The tools that have been
developed previously unable to meet the criteria as effectively tracking spilled oil. So,
the method and the new system should be brought to the detection of oil spills. This
project presents a buoy equipped with sensors that use copper and is able to detect and
transmit information at the time of the accident spilled oil and its installation is easy.
The paper discusses the development and analysis of buoy and sensor concept. The
application of electrolysis applied on the sensor, which are based on the electric
conductivity properties of oil and water. The application concept of electrolysis for
sensor is assisted with Arduino UNO programme . The results presented in this paper,
which are physical prototype and the performance of sensor proposed to detect the oil
spilled in real testing.
