Imenco is a world leader in supplying advanced underwater acoustic systems, which includes our patented, unique Acoustic Digital Spread spectrum (ADS2) technology to provide world leading subsea positioning and communications capability.
Acoustic communication and positioning technology is applied for offshore commercial energy applications such as remote subsea BOP control, accurate non GPS dynamic positioning, and industry-leading diver communications systems. Our positioning technology supports subsea diverless automation.
Environmental monitoring technology is applied to protect the world’s marine ecosystems through supplying active subsea environmental monitoring systems to companies and researchers, engaged in operations in marine ecosystems, in order to generate new knowledge, improve understanding and identify risks, enabling timely and informed decisions.
The idea and methodology behind Imenco Subsea Environmental Monitoring was born in the mid 1990s at the Institute of Marine Research. It has since evolved from studying of fish and their behaviour to detection of oil and gas leakage as well as stationary real time environmental monitoring. From years of acoustic surveying with vessel acoustics, we discovered that the collection of data along transects created two types of uncertainties: Fish were disturbed by the survey vessel and stock estimates affected accordingly. Mixing of spatial and temporal variability hid properties of ecosystem dynamics that were essential to understanding marine ecosystems. X-net® system is a modular sensor deployment and retrieval system for environmental monitoring and surveying. The infrastructure is expandable to as many connection points as needed and can be adapted according to the requirements of a given project. The system uses fibre optics for communication between nodes and can support power supply of 3.0 kV AC.
The system is designed to allow maximum flexibility in customization with minimal engineering expense.
Advanced underwater wireless communication and positioning systems.
Using the latest generation of signalling technology, NASNet employs a broadcast technique providing true multi-user, accurate and reliable positioning in all water depths with no acoustic interference, providing clients with accurate positioning and substantial cost savings.
Our other Subsea Underwater Positioning and Navigation systems make use of Long Baseling (LBL), Short Baseline (SBL), and Ultra Short Baseline (USBL)
Subsea data transfer and control of seabed assets is available in our NASCoM product range.
