pCO2, Total Alkalinity, O2, Methane, Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) sensors and analyzers

The Contros undersea chemical analyzers offer new capabilities in underwater CO₂ methane, PAH Offshore oil and gas exploration, environmental sciences and protection, ocean acidification and oceanographic research now have powerful new tools for chemical analysis from the surface to 6000 meters.  HydroC™ sensors can independently deployed or operated from ROVs and AUVs.

Symphotic TII Corporation is pleased to offer two versions of the HydroC™ CO₂ Analyzer:  the HydroC™ CO₂ FT, a flow through system for laboratory and onboard vessel pCO₂ determinations, and the HydroC CO₂ submersible analyzer with an integrated flow pump for faster response times.

Our newest product is the HydroFlash™ O2 sensor: a high performance "Optode" (optical sensor in an electrode sized package.)

The Improved HydroC™/PAH detects and measures polyaromatic hydrocarbons for environmental monitoring, and analytical chemistry in limnological and oceanographic research. It also has applications in environmental remediation after oil spills.  This system is compact, sensitive, reliable, and simple to deploy.

Sources of PAH in Seawater can be natural or anthropogenic

The Contros HydroC™/PAH sensor

Powerful analytical capability in a compact sensor:

The optode is an optical sensor in compact, electrode sized housing.  This sensor determines dissolved oxygen by fluorescence quenching: oxygen diffuses into a fluorescent membrane coating on the surface of an optical window.  The coating is illuminated from the rear and the fluorescence is measured.  The measured fluorescence is inversely proportional to the dissolved oxygen concentration.  This technique gives an elegant, rapid and robust method for dissolved oxygen determination. Both temperature and percent saturation (0 to 200%) are time-stamped and stored on board for later recall, or can be accessed in real time through an RS-232 interface.
