Surrey based Planet Ocean Ltd is pleased to announce their partnership with two more Canadian manufacturers from the Nova Scotia cluster, Instrument Concepts from Great Village and ROMOR Ocean Solutions of Dartmouth.
Instrument Concepts Inc manufactures a range of "Smart" Digital hydrophones. These devices incorporate advanced digital signal processing and data logging within the hydrophone itself, thus providing a unique, ready to go, calibrated, acoustic system without the need for additional surface based signal processing or equipment. icListen's integrated 24 bit digital signal processor computes spectral data, time correlations or can use a user supplied custom algorithm. Results are transmitted in real-time, or stored in icListen's on-board memory. The system can record all raw data as well.
The hydrophones are low power, exceptionally low noise and are used in general oceanographic and scientific research applications, sea mammal monitoring and oil and gas operations for leak detection applications. The icListen range includes MF and LF versions together with a directional version "icLocate" to allow ocean sound sources to be positioned accurately as well as analysed in real time. RS-232 and Ethernet outputs are available. The small light weight devices can be seabed mounted, over the side on ROV's buoys, or even hand held by divers.
ROMOR Ocean Solutions have released their C-ROM system, "Compact Recoverable Ocean Mooring".
C-ROM consists of a subsurface flotation collar that provides approximately 36 kgs of positive buoyancy for use in a seawater environment for depths up to 500m. A larger version with more buoyancy will be available shortly. The flotation collar encloses a customer specified acoustic release as well as the client specified instrument(s) that can be accommodated within the dimensions of the design. As an option, the C-ROM "RotoDrum" rope deployment system can be included with the C-ROM to enable recovery of the mooring anchor once the mooring has been released and surfaced. C-ROM, already has standard fittings for many Planet Ocean instruments and systems, including Instrument Concepts, Satlantic, WET Labs, XEOS beacons as well as NORTEK and RDI ADCP systems. A unique feature of C-ROM is that it inverts on the surface which means that the release hydrophone remains in the water and available for ranging.
