The mission of
CONTROS Systems & Solutions GmbH
is to create highly sophisticated underwater sensors and systems that help our clients in the marine business, as well as in the scientific world, to solve their demanding measurement and monitoring tasks with the needed accuracy, the highest reliability and the desired ease of use.
About Contros
The Kiel (Germany) based CONTROS Systems & Solutions GmbH develops, produces and markets in-situ underwater sensor systems to detect hydrocarbons (e.g. methane), CO2, mono ethylene glycol (MEG), and oil in water (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PEG) down to a water depth of 6,000m in any condition and in combination with robust and flexible data logging solutions. The company’s products are mainly used for early leak detection and environmental assessment within the Offshore Oil & Gas industry, ranging from mobile inspections of pipelines and subsea structures to long term monitoring systems for subsea templates, manifolds and completion systems, as well as for scientific campaigns in the field of climate studies, methane hydrate research, air-sea exchange and ocean acidification, CO2 sequestration applications (CCS), fish farming and limnology.
CONTROS receives the 2011 MTS Compass International Award
For Outstanding Contributions to the Advancement of the Science and Engineering of Oceanography and Marine Technology CONTROS has obtained the MTS Compass International Award during this year’s OCEANS IEEE conference and exhibition.OCEANS '11 MTS/IEEE KONA was held in the Hilton Waikoloa Village in Kona on Hawai‘i from September 19-22. The CONTROS team feels honored to receive the only International Award and gives special thanks to the MTS board for the election.
“This award has additionally convinced us that the last 5 years of hard work and many extra hours have been worth spending and it is a great motivation to continue.”
said CEO Daniel Esser during his acceptance speech. He dedicated the award to the whole CONTROS team for the efforts on continuous sensor systems and companies improvements.
HydroC™
With the HydroC™ CONTROS overcomes the fact that it is not possible to measure dissolved and gaseous methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) directly in the water phase (in-situ) by combining the proven and highly precise non-dispersive infrared technology (NDIR) with a unique and worldwide patented membrane module.The benefits of this unique technology are:
- The HydroC™ is a selective method, i.e. just the component of interest is being detected.
- The HydroC™ detects even the smallest emissions and allows for a very low detection limit.
- The HydroC™ is unaffected by saturated solutions and cross-contaminations.
- The HydroC™ needs no dyes, as CH4/CO2 is part of the medium to be detected.
- The HydroC™ has long service intervals.
