New Class II ROV for subsea inspection & light work
Embient now offers the H800, a new Class II ROV for subsea inspection & light work, made by ECA Robotics.
Hypack
Embient now offers the software package HYPACK for operation of the most common singlebeam-, multibeam-, sidescan-, and ADCP- systems. HYPACK integrates survey planning, data acquisition, and postprocessing into one product to cover the entire workflow of hydrographic surveying.
Testimonial CO2 leakage
Embient has recently placed the Sonic 2024 together with Ageotec and R2Sonic supporting an international research campaign performed in Italy. The sounder was operated together with various acoustic devices. Given the broadband availability of the Sonic2024 no interferences were limiting the survey. The Sonic2024 outperformed in both, bathymetric measurements and water column imaging. During the survey in shallow water around 20m vigorous gas leak s clearly emerge in the data visible as large depressions on the seafloor.
From these depressions gaseous CO2 leaks into the water column in the form of rising gas bubbles. This was decently detected by the new R2Sonic water column imaging functionality (see pictures below). Moreover the water column data was used for online ROV tracking across the swath.
Figure 2: Online water column images recorded with the Sonic2024 showing natural release of CO2 gas bubbles from the 22 m deep seafloor.

R2Sonic 2024 Snippets Data
In September 2011 Embient sold a R2Sonic 2024 to the Baltic Sea Research Institute in Warnemünde (IOW , Germany). The system was installed together with an IXEA Phins motion sensor system in the moonpool of the new research vessel Elisabeth Mann Borgese. HYPACK was delivered as data acquisition and post processing software solution. Embient has processed the first dataset recorded at 13m water depth. Even though the seafloor appears totally flat, the processed R2Sonic snippets offers valuable seafloor information indicating some pebble patches on the sandy seafloor.
