ProbeGuard: Biofouling control unit for moored sensors
The accumulation of organisms on moored sensors (biofouling) requires the replacement of these sensors with freshly calibrated instruments.Biofouling not only compromises data quality, but the associated instrument servicing, including field site visits and laboratory calibration, is often the most costly component of long term monitoring.
ProbeGuard (Patent Pending) controls biofouling on various moored aquatic instruments (biofouling) by enclosing the instrument sensors in a closed chamber that is treated with a biocide during dormant periods, and that is opened and filled with ambient water for sampling activities.
With sophisticated electronics, ProbeGuard saves all instrument data to nonvolatile memory that can be easily accessed over the communications port by an on-site user or remotely via an automated data collection system (telemetry) such as Green Eyes W2W (make link to W2W). |
