The WBMS-series are ultra compact sonars designed specifically for use on all platforms. With low power consumption, the system may be operated for a full day on a single battery. NORBIT’s wideband multibeam technology allows long range real-time data collection, whilst simultaneously achieving high range resolution.
The small, lightweight detector combines with its control unit and Windows based software to warn the user of the presence of gaseous Hydrocarbons (such as methane) ahead of the more obvious physical clues such as the presence of bubbles.
The Sniffit was developed specifically to allow, real time in situ detection of dissolved and gaseous methane in water, whatever the source, and has been successful in hydrocarbon surveys to depths of over 3000m world-wide.
As with the earlier versions, the MKIII can detect fluorescent dyes, crude oils, lubricating oils and hydrocarbon based control fluids at depths down to 3000m (6000m as special) but with enhanced performance.
The flowline water temperature is normally above ambient seawater temperature due to the high pressure pumping required.
Neptune has developed a differential temperature technique that can detect very small temperature changes. The sensors comprise fast, high precision thermistors connected through the Neptune leak detection system to the ROV umbilical for onboard display and recording.
For over 20 years, STR has delivered mission critical solutions to support offshore survey, ROV, IRM, positioning, environmental and subsea construction sectors.
As an innovative company, STR understands the importance of developing new technology and delivering class leading services to give our customers the very best solutions.
They are ideal for use in bottom mapping and sub-bottom profiling applications.
The transducers are designed to be driven with a maximum input power of 600 Watts using up to a 30% duty cycle, or 200 Watts maximum for continuous operation. In shallow water, the maximum output is cavita-tion limited. Minimum water depths of approximately 30 and 100 feet are recommended for input power of 200 and 600 Watts respectively to avoid cavitation.
The multiplexer hard-ware is based on the Focal 914-X series. Power switching is software controlled via a graphical user interface on the integrated touch screen PC. Sensor power status, leak alarm, telemetry link status etc. is continuously monitored by the software. The protocol is open and can be integrated into customer software if required.
