Optical Plankton Counter
The Optical Plankton Counter (OPC) provides real-time data for
counting and sizing zooplankton, fish eggs and other aquatic
organisms in the field or laboratory.
Electrical Slip Rings
High quality, durable electrical slip rings used in the transfer
of power and signal between two rotational interfaces in a wide
variety of applications.
Fluid Unions
Fluid Rotary Unions with 2 to 80 seperate passes and working
pressures of up to 7500 psi (510 bar).
Fpso Swivels
Certified swivels used in various Floating Production, Storage
and Offloading Systems allowing the continuous delivery of
electrical power and signal with unlimited freedom of the vessel
to weathervane about the mooring point.

Optical Particle Counter.
While the optical particle counter (OPC) was originally developed for counting and sizing zooplankton, it has been adapted for the detection of zebra mussel veligers, which permits on-line sampling and detection of zebra mussel veliger concentrations. This in turn enables the optimization of chlorine treatment and other chemical control methods for the elimination or reduction of the freely swimming juvenile mussels.
Advanced Ultrasonic Flow Sensor.
An Advanced Ultrasonic Flow Sensor permits measurement of three-dimensional velocity with simultaneous measurement of sound speed using miniaturized ultrasonic technology. Density, heat flux, and vorticity can also be determined from the measured parameters. These measurements can be used for investigation of sediment transport in boundary layers where other flow sensors do not work well, as well as to assess mixing and dispersion. The geometry of the sample volume can be varied from cm(3) to m(3).
Electrical Slip Rings And Fibre Optic Rotary Joints For Effective Use Of Telerobotics.
A range of electrical slip ring and fibre optic rotary joint products, including combination units, are a key component in the winch or cable handling system for tethered unmanned vehicles. These vehicles are increasingly used for waste management, site assessment and restoration as well as decontamination and decommissioning of hazardous facilities and location. The rotary couplings permit continuous telemetry including video images while the tether to the robotic system is paying in or out. These slip rings and optic rotary joints may be used on land, in the air and both on and under water.
