AML Delivers First Cabled UV to U.S.G.S.
AML Oceanographic, Canada, marked the release of its Cabled UV Biofouling Control product with a shipment to the U.S. Geological Survey Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Sciences Center, Massachusetts, USA. The September 2014 product release came six months after the debut of UV•Xchange, capable of utilising UV light as a method to control biofouling on instrumentation.
Cabled UV provides the technology of UV•Xchange in a format compatible with almost any device and is capable of accommodating the individual requirements of each deployment. The U.S.G.S. Center in Woods Hole plans to test Cabled UV on its LISST instruments, while the product also can contribute to preventing growth on a broad spectrum of other equipment and surfaces, such as third party sensors, ADCPs, camera lenses, lights, hydrophones, sonar heads and more.
