Crude Oil Tracking Sensors for Gulf Oil Spill04/08/2010 |
| Chelsea's range of hydrocarbon fluorimeters are being deployed in the Gulf of Mexico to monitor the extent of the oil spill. Originally designed for military use these highly reliable, robust, high sensitivity fluorimeters have a proven track record of detecting crude and refined oils in a wide range of environments. |

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion |
Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed.

The UV AQUAtracka and the UviLux are just two of the submersible fluorimeters in Chelsea's portfolio. These sensors monitor the concentration of refined (360nm) or crude hydrocarbons (440nm) in a range of coastal, oceanographic and fresh water applications. They have been designed to be deployed independently as well as from submersible vehicles, diver held, moored, profiled or as part of a flow through system.
