OSIL Enhances ROV Tools for Deep Sea Mining Monitoring

Global environmental monitoring and sediment sampling experts Ocean Scientific International Ltd have augmented their offering of deep sea ROV sampling equipment with a multiple water sample collection system with inbuilt water quality monitoring.

OSIL’s range of ROV tools now not only includes the instrumented water sample collection system, but also an undisturbed sediment sampling system, an instrumented pressure activated camera system, and a deep sea solenoid actuator, which can be adapted to suit application requirements.

The ROV tools are designed for ease of mounting and systems can be daisy-chained together to create a sampling network that is ideal for rapid assessment work.

All ROV tools are rated to 6000m and have a wide range of potential applications including monitoring deep sea mineral retrieval and oil & gas operations, scientific exploration and environmental impact assessments.
