A ROV-based sensor system for marine pollution control. For in situ and on-line recognition of pollutants in the water column and on the sea-floor, the German Ministry for Research and Technology decided to develop a ROV equipped with adequate analyzing instruments. |
| As mixing and sinking properties of different
chemical spills are quite different , the system consists on several sensors
which use chemical and physical properties in order to determine
and quantify possible pollution agents.
The operational platform of the sensor system is a ROV specified for a maximum operation depth of 300m for the use in regions with high tidal currents. It is driven by up to 6 thrusters with a total power of 10 Kilowatts. |

Sensors are mounted in a frame measuring
1700 mm x 1200 mm x 1100 mm (L x W x H). The frame is fitted beneath
the ROV engine unit. It is encased to ensure streamline contours.
Well positioned openings guarantee continuous water influx for in situ sensors and free field of view for the remote sensing instruments. An alternative frame measuring 2500 mm x 1200 mm x 1100 mm x (L x W x H) is realized to carry larger instruments. The FR type work class ROV can be adapted to a variety of applications. Due to its modular construction, single components can be used for the construction of other ROVs, able to carry out a variety of duties. |
