Also Contros is in the forefront for early leak detection at subsea structures conserving the subsea environment. The Company: The Company: The Kiel, Germany based CONTROS Systems & Solutions GmbH develops, produces and markets in-situ underwater sensor systems to detect hydrocarbons (e.g. methane), CO2 and oil in water (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PEG) down to a full ocean depth in any condition. The companyÕs products are mainly used for early leak detection and envi- ronmental assessment within the Offshore Oil & Gas indus- try, ranging from mobile inspections of pipelines and subsea structures to stationary Monitoring, Measurement and Veri- Þ cation (MMV) systems for subsea structures. The versatile CO2 systems are widely used for scientiÞ c campaigns in the Þ eld of climate studies, methane hydrate research, air-sea ex- change and ocean acidiÞ cation, CO2 sequestration applica- tions (CCS), Þ sh farming and limnology. The Tech: The Tech: CONTROS aim is to sustain the current strength and to de- velop new technologies in order to deliver sensor systems to measure the total carbonate system in any liquid application ranging from pH, CO2 through to TA. With the HydroCª CONTROS overcomes the fact that it is not possible to measure dissolved and gaseous methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) directly in the water phase (in-situ) by com- bining the proven and highly precise non-dispersive infrared technology (NDIR, Laser) with a unique and worldwide pat- ented membrane module.CONTROS S YSTEMS & SOLUTIONS GMB HCONTROS S YSTEMS & SOLUTIONS GMBHWischhofstr. 1-3 Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany 24148 Wischhofstr. 1-3 Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany 24148 Tel: +4943126095900 Tel: +4943126095900 E-mail: d.esser@contros.eu E-mail: d.esser@contros.eu Website: www.contros.eu Website: www.contros.eu CEO/President: Daniel Esser Vice President: Volker Sallandt Employees: 21 EdgeTech is a leader in underwater technology solutions in- cluding: side scan sonars, sub-bottom proÞ lers, bathymetry systems, AUV and ROV-based sonar systems, combined and customized solutions.
