Application
Oil-in-Water & Spill Response
Oil-in-water monitoring and spill-response buoys — self-powered, satellite-connected, and ready to deploy in numbers so a response team can see where the oil is and where it is going.
The challenge
What makes it hard
Spill preparedness runs on stockpiles: equipment held ready, then deployed fast and in quantity when it is needed. Tracking buoys for that role have to be autonomous, robust, able to sense oil-in-water, and report position and readings back without any local infrastructure — at a unit price that works when you buy them by the dozen.
How RemoteCon fits
The approach
A LacusOrb configured for oil-in-water (with turbidity and temperature) is solar-charged and reports over satellite or cellular, so each buoy runs itself and streams to a common dashboard. The platform is designed to be built and held in quantity for rapid deployment, and the same buoy family covers routine environmental monitoring between incidents.
