SOPHISTICATED UNDERWATER GAS DETECTION

FOR SCIENTIFIC mEASUREmENTS

CONTROS’ HydroC™/ CO2 is a unique under- water carbon dioxide sensor solving the global problems of the in-situ and online measurements of CO2.

Applications include Ocean Acidification, Carbon Capture and Storage Evaluation, Environmental Monitoring, Fish Farming and Greenhouse Studies.

Function principle

Dissolved CO2 diffuses quickly from the liquid through a patented thinfilm composite membrane into a detector chamber.

The CO2 concentration is measured with utmost accuracy by non-dispersive infrared spectrometry (NDIR) within a gas circuit.

AdvAntAges

✓ The HydroC™ system is unaffected by turbidity or interferences to other gaseous substances in the environment.

✓ The HydroC™ system detects gaseous and dissolved CO2 in the water column.

✓ The HydroC™ system features an optical technology with a proven track record.

✓ The HydroC™ system has a long-term stable signal.

✓ The HydroC™ system is the ONLY existing CO2 deep-sea sensor (up to 6000m)

technicAl outlineAccuracy: < 10 ppmOperational depths: up to 6000 mMaintenance interval: 12 MonthsData outputs: digital & analogue

Although not the most powerful greenhouse gas, CO2 drives climate change due to the enormous vo-lumes of this gas pumped into the atmosphere. Studies on the behaviour, distribution and interaction of CO2 in the water column and surface waters depend on accurate in-situ measurements.
