Undersea Gas Analysis

Sea Monitor™ Underwater Mass spectrometer is a rugged mass spectrometer used for in‐situ fingerprinting of hydrocarbons and trace chemicals in water. The instrument has the capability of operating at depths to 5000 meters as well as surface applications and transmit real time data to the control station.

The instrument can be deployed on variety of underwater platforms, including moorings, cabled sensor nodes, ROVs, AUVs,and manned submersibles. Sea Monitor™ can also be used for monitoring water topside while being pulled on the rivers and ocean surface.

The instrument can be used for performing EPA method 624 for Purgeable Organic Chemical Analysis of Municipal and Industrial Wastewater, which cites 31 components for GC/MS analysis with MDL>1ug/l. Sea Monitor™ can perform this analysis on line in less than 6 minutes at approximately 0.1 ug/l MDLs.
