Emma Johnson, CTG's Maritime & Hydrocarbon Sales Manager will be showcasing CTG's range of hydrocarbon monitoring products.

The aim of the Premiam conference is to provide a forum for scientists, regulators and environmental advisors working in the field of marine oil /chemical spill monitoring and impact assessment to share experience, best practice and knowledge with the wider marine emergency response community.

CTG has a proven range of in situ sensors optimised for monitoring crude and refined oil. Applications include: reporting of hydrocarbon monitoring in ports & coastal areas, within natural water systems, pollution surveillance, point source pollution tracking & monitoring of wash water from ship's exhaust gas scrubbing systems. Systems are also available for detection of leaks in pipelines & subsea installations and for subsea control line leak detection.

On display will be:

• The new V-Lux: Multi-parameter fluorometer configured to detect either Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Algae or Tryptophan-like fluorescence.

• OIL-Wader: Provides real-time in situ detection of dissolved aromatic hydrocarbons. This system comprises a UviLux fluorometer and a Hawk handheld display and logging unit.

• Subsea Leak Detection Systems: These systems detect fluorescence of either hydrocarbon directly, or standard products with added fluorophors and have been optimised for minimal interference from turbidity.
