HEADS (Hydrocarbon Early Automatic Detection System) combines different sensors and is able to detect small volumes of hydrocarbons on the water surface in a few minutes and with no human intervention.

Sensors located on the coast automatically detect spills on the surface of the sea

Upon detection, an alarm is triggered in the control centre that gets displayed on the operation console of the HMI (Human Machine Interface)

Reduces the levelof operational risks

Risk

Identifies incidents causedby third parties and providesevidences to resolve conflicts

Conflict solving

Especially suitable for facilities near protected areas or withhigh nearby activity

Sensitive areas

Security for remotelyoperated assets

Unmanned facilities

Reveals failures andpromotes transparency within organizations

Transparency

Minimizes response costs and monitoring and prevention costs

Costs

Ensures compliance ofregulations and standards and supports environmentalcertifications
