Measurements of dissolved gases in natural waters provide critical information for monitoring biological production, understanding the dynamics of greenhouse gases, surveying the
distribution of pollutants, and determining the health of sensitive ecosystems. Pro-Oceanus Systems Inc. provides world-leading technology in our line of advanced dissolved gas sensors.Pro-Oceanus instruments are making measurements in all of the world’s oceans and in coastal waters and seas around China, Korea, Indonesia, the UK, the U.S., Australia, Canada, and many EU countries, and in addition our instruments have been deployed in both the Arctic and Antarctic. In Australia our CO2-Pro™ controls the concentration of CO2 in 10,000 liter tanks of seawater used to study the health of coral reefs. Others of our instruments have been dropped from airplanes into paths of hurricanes to study ocean mixing and gas exchange, but perhaps, the most exotic use of our instruments is in Lake Kivu, West Africa where our GTD-Pro’s™ are monitoring gas build-up in one of the “killer lakes”. How good are our instruments? In a 2009 international demonstration project conducted by the Alliance for Coastal Technologies in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, the Pro-Oceanus Systems CO2-Pro™ finished first in competition with other submersible CO2 sensors.
Our line of advanced plug-n-play sensors includes:
» GTD-Pro™ - perhaps the most stable and accurate dissolved gas sensor on the market, the GTD-Pro measures total gas tension, i.e., the sum of the partial pressures of all dissolved gases» Hurricane GTD™ - a smaller fast-response version of the GTD-Pro™
» CO2-Pro ™ - a highly accurate NDIR based pCO2 sensor designed for use on moorings, on profilers, in laboratories and on ships in underway mode.
» Atmosphere option – add the Atmosphere option to the CO2-Pro™ and measure surface water and atmospheric pCO2… both measurements made with the same detector for highly accurate ΔpCO2
» Mini-Pro CO2™ - a smaller, low cost pCO2 sensor developed for use in biofuel production facilities, carbon capture and storage monitoring, and for general oceanographic applications
» pCO2 Control System - custom designed control of pCO2 in water tanks and flow applications
» Mini-Pro Methane™ - a compact, fast response methane/ alkane sensor designed for monitoring oil spills, for detecting leaks in underwater pipelines, for studying seeps and melting hydrates, and for monitoring anoxic production of methane in landfills and bioreactors.
