SUBSEA TECHNOLOGY
A potential use case for SubCtech’s technology
CASTLES IN THE SAND I
n the ever-evolving realm of underwater technology, innovation is vital. Companies involved in the sector manage
and build equipment structures located on, below, or buried in the seafloor. Lines include production risers, flow lines and associated production control systems. One of the key players, SubCtech,
is known for its innovation and both divisions of the company focus on new technologies but have quite different customer bases - the divisions comprise Ocean Power, dealing with subsea Li-Ion batteries and power equipment; and Ocean Monitoring, focusing on vessel underway equipment and ocean climate change analysis.

THE OCEAN MONITORING BUSINESS UNIT The Ocean Monitoring business unit makes up 10% of the company’s operations and supplies mainly to scientific institutes, research vessel- based scientists and ocean race sailors. The monitoring equipment covers surface and underwater greenhouse gas monitoring and micro- plastic samplers. The Autonomous Underway Measurement System (AUMS) is designed for pCO2 monitoring on ships (‘FerryBox’) and can be further upgraded via various available sensors: e.g. Meteo Top- Box for meteorological and sea-air exchange flux measurements and any third-party instrument.
How new products including an industrial battery cell and an energy storage system could be a game changer for the industry
The latest Microplastic Sampler, for
example, enables monitoring on any type of sea vessel and can detect even the smallest presence of microplastics in the water, down to particles single parts per m3, without the need for large nets or complex filter systems. The next-level robust and waterproof design provides accurate sampling even on high-speed boats travelling at more than 30kn or underwater up to 3,000m water depth.
OCEAN POWER PRODUCT DIVISION The Ocean Power Products division makes up 90% of the company’s operations and supplies primarily to customers within energy sector, monitoring stations/moorings,
