Aquatec Group has announced the launch of the AQUAmodem Op1L, a new lightweight version of their standard optical modem, designed for use by divers and on small ROVs. Using established technology, the optical modem allows short range interrogation, commanding and data download from underwater equipment. The new instrument is three times lighter than the original optical modem, making it ideal for applications in oceanographic, environmental and coastal research, as well as offshore energy industries.
The AQUAmodem Op1L is compatible with…
It is now even easier to measure suspended sediment concentration with the new AQUAscat 1000LT acoustic profiler. The latest addition to the well-established AQUAscat range combines cutting edge technology with economic design to give the best value solution for scientists and surveyors.
The AQUAscat 1000LT observes profiles of suspended sediment concentration of up to 2.5m using multi-frequency acoustics. Profiling allows sediment dynamics such as resuspension and entrainment to be explored, which is not possible with single point measurements. The instrument…

Aquatec Group are launching a new cathodic protection system at Subsea Expo 2016. It is a fully integrated system with closed loop control, which provides both impressed current cathodic protection and monitoring of the resulting protection levels in real-time. The new AQUAclamp simplifies retrofitting so the system is ideal for extending the life of ageing assets, providing a viable alternative to decommissioning.
After installation of the fixed CP monitoring units, divers and ROVs are no longer needed to carry out CP…
Throughout the year, Aquatec Group offer students the opportunity to learn more about designing and producing instrumentation solutions for oceanographic and offshore sectors. Over the years we have taken on at least one intern for every year the company has been in business, providing hands-on and personalised projects to suit their skillsets. The programmes are often 6-8 weeks long, and can range from programming to research.
This year we received wonderful feedback from our summer interns. Here’s what they said:…
