In a world where environmental protection is no longer a choice but a necessity, LDI stands out as a pioneer in developing non-contact sensor technologies that help detect oil spills quickly and efficiently. Operating from Estonia with a global vision, LDI offers advanced solutions for real-time oil detection that combine innovation, precision, and usability. The company’s commitment to sustainability and technological development places it at the forefront of an industry that’s increasingly focused on prevention and rapid response.
Smart Design Meets Functional Performance
LDI’s sensors are designed with practicality in mind. Their non-contact technology allows for:
- reliable oil detection without direct contact with the substance
- minimizing maintenance
- enabling safer deployment
- ensuring long-term reliability in challenging environments such as marine surfaces, industrial facilities, and critical infrastructures.
Compared to competitors, LDI’s approach is more user-oriented, offering compact and easy-to-integrate devices that meet real-world oil spill detection application needs without sacrificing technical depth.
Cutting-Edge Technology with Global-Ready Durability
At the heart of LDI’s innovation is the Remote Optical Watcher (ROW) — an autonomous, non-contact sensor designed to detect oil on water in real time.
Leveraging the natural fluorescence of hydrocarbons, the ROW can accurately identify a wide spectrum of oils, from heavy crude and bunker fuels to lighter fractions like kerosene and jet fuel — even detecting non-petroleum-based substances like vegetable oil. Its optical detection system eliminates contact with the water, which means no marine biofouling, no sensor contamination, and minimal maintenance. Designed for the harshest environments, ROW features an IP68-rated enclosure and consumes just 2W of power, making it ideal for remote, solar-powered, or battery-operated installations.
With seamless third-party telemetry integration and certifications from CE, EPA, and ATEX/IECEx by DNV, ROW is trusted by industry leaders and regulators alike — delivering compliance, reliability, and peace of mind.
What sets LDI apart is not just the performance of its sensors, but the ecosystem that supports them. From intuitive interfaces to seamless integration with monitoring platforms, LDI provides end-to-end environmental monitoring. LDI’s broader offering, which includes other environmental monitoring solutions beyond oil spill detection, ensures that its clients have a trusted partner for comprehensive protection strategies.
