Aquatec Products

Aquatec manufactures a wide range of standard instrumentation products for offshore oil and gas and ocean science applications. If the instrument that you require is not described in this section, please refer to our services section for:

The AQUAclick porpoise click logger

The AQUAclick 100 is a click recorder which monitors sonar activity from high frequency Harbour Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) clicks. It is used to assess porpoise abundance in a given locality.

The AQUAlogger 210 logger series

The AQUAlogger 210 series of instruments offer compact oceanographic instrument capability. They comprise fully self-contained data loggers, with a high speed data connection for configuration, data download, and real time telemetry.

The AQUAlogger 520 logger series

The AQUAlogger 520 oceanographic instruments are fully self-contained, miniature data loggers. A USB-connected reader allows for fast uploading of up to 256 thousand logged parameter readings using a contactless communication system.

AQUAmark Marine Mammal Deterrents

The AQUAmark series are acoustic pingers which help prevent marine mammal (porpoise and dolphin) bycatch.

AQUAmodem 1000 Configurable Modem

Aquatec’s latest acoustic modem technology has been developed over 15 years. The more recent projects involved shallow water communications in the Baltic over ranges of up to 5 km, while current long range communication technology has been developed within the EC-Funded DAMOCLES and ACOBAR projects (see Research & Development) for communication at up to 20 km range.

AQUAmodem 500 Integrated Measurement and Data Transmission

The AQUAmodem 500 instruments represent a breakthrough in low cost underwater communications. Perfect for long-term, multi-point condition monitoring, the system combines the proven data acquisition capabilities of Aquatec's AQUAlogger underwater instrumentation with a low-power acoustic transmission system. At the surface is a standard AQUAmodem receiver unit that decodes the data signals transmitted from multiple subsea units.

AQUAmodem Op1 Optical Modem

Aquatec has been producing underwater acoustic modems for over 15 years. Now, for short range applications, we have introduced the AQUAmodem Op1 Optical Modem.

This instrument provides a seamless interface between the user and any subsea instrumentation with RS232 serial interfaces, such as our AQUAlogger oceanographic instruments, HYDROlog hydrotest loggers and LEAKlog leak detection sensors – typically via an ROV umbilical.

AQUAscat

The AQUAscat 1000 represents a new generation of high frequency acoustic instrumentation. It has applications in sediment transport studies, including measurement of suspended sediment profiles, ripple bed morphology, precision altimetry, dredge plumes and turbulence.

HYDROlog

Aquatec's HYDROlog instrument range are used for monitoring test pressure and ambient temperature during subsea pipeline hydrotesting.

LEAKlog

Aquatec designs and manufactures leak detection systems for the oil industry. In partnership with Neptune Oceanographics Limited, we also provide systems and operator personnel for hire across the globe.

Aquatec's LEAKlog instrument range are used for the detection of leaks from subsea pipelines and installations, generally deployed from ROVs. We use a variety of detection techniques, including fluorescence detection, passive acoustic detection, and thermal gradient monitoring.
