56 MTR May 2011 (SPORT), for shallow water and small boat deployments, comes in a variety of configurations. The pop- up configuration is an all-in-one design with flotation, acoustic rang- ing, acoustic tilt information and release functions all built in to a one- person deployable unit. The SPORT can also be used in a standard in-line mooring or it can be laid on its side to easily fit into a trawl resistant bottom mount. With its light-weight hous- ing and corrosion resistant Ultem push-off link, it can withstand the harshest shallow water environs. The MacArtney Underwater Technology Group conducted diver demonstrations of underwater cam- eras and live comparison of sonar technologies at Ocean Business, with presentations in the test tank, at dockside, in the classroom and on the exhibition stand. At the “Lights, cam- era, action!” session in the test tank, divers will be demonstrating the MacArtney LUXUS P1 video unit live. Dockside, a “What’s below?” demonstration featured a Kongsberg Mesotech scanning sonar and a DID- SON sonar working side by side to perform a recovery procedure. In the classroom MacArtney presented a first-hand account of real life experi- ences using the MacArtney TRI- AXUS high speed undulating ROTV. Contros offers its HydroC CO2 Carbondioxide Sensor, used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) or stored in depleted oil and gas fields in Carbon Capture and Storage projects (CCS) requires zero tolerance for leakage emphasizing the need for pre- cise Measurement, Monitoring & Verification (MMV). Injection facili- ties, such as trees and wellheads can emit CO2, while at the same time large amounts of dissolved gas could be transported from the deep strata towards the seafloor due to injection- mediated overpressure or density driven uplift. CO2-rich leakage quickly diffuses in water, which acid- ifies the seawater and affects the envi- ronment. CO2 leak detection methodology is site-specific and depends on various environmental parameters and monitoring goals. A direct way to detect even “invisible” CO2 leakage at the injection facilities or at the surrounding seafloor is the CONTROS’ HydroC CO2 Sniffer Knudsen Engineering used Ocean Business as the platform to launch PINGER its new Sub-Bottom Profiling Package. The PINGER SBP features a large aperture receiver that provides higher directivity while remaining lightweight. Another advantge of the PINGER SBP receive array is its wide bandwidth. The same receive array can be used (simultane- ously) for multiple frequencies. Teledyne Benthos unveiled its new generation of acoustic telemetry modems. The new ATM-900 series modems add features and functional- ity that meet industry needs based on the company’s proven acoustic tech- nology. The modems are designed to incorporate enhanced data logger capability up to 6MB in a flash file format and offer dual serial ports, allowing users to connect to 2 sensors with a single modem. The new modems are available in 3 config- urable formats, with others soon to follow.
