OSIL Beach Buoys

OSIL have announced the launch of their range of “Beach Buoys” for environmental water quality monitoring.

Ensuring safe and clean water quality is essential for public health, environmental sustainability, and regulatory compliance. The Beach Buoys provide real-time, automated water quality monitoring for open water sites, helping organizations maintain safe water conditions while reducing operational costs.

These buoys are designed for ensuring regulatory compliance, scientific environmental research, preventative monitoring, and public health protection. They enable municipalities, research institutions, and industries such as aquaculture, wastewater management, and desalination plants to track critical water parameters remotely.

Equipped with advanced sensors (measuring parameters including coliforms, Blue-Green Algae, Dissolved Oxygen and hydrocarbons) and location-appropriate telemetry systems, the buoy systems provide early warnings for pollution events, algal blooms, and contamination, allowing for rapid response. By automating water quality monitoring, organizations can reduce the need for manual sampling, optimize resource allocation, and ensure compliance with environmental standards. The Beach Buoy is an essential tool for protecting natural water bodies and ensuring safe recreational water use.

Two sizes of Beach Buoy are available, the 1.2m platform is intended for longer deployments from spring to autumn, while the smaller 0.6m platform is for short-term deployment during the summer months.

OSIL have been producing data buoys for over 25 years and now have well in excess of 1000 data buoy systems worldwide. OSIL are a world leading manufacturer of marine environmental monitoring and sampling systems.
