Datasets per day from single sensor
Days without maintenance
Datasets in database already
A novel approach – we transfer full optical spectrometry lab underwater and automate it to get unprecedented selectivity and sensitivity of measurements.
Our main focus:
- Selectivity – massive struggle for conventional sensors on the market right now
- Precision in relative and absolute measurements
- Autonomous, maintenance free operation – ready for Industry 3.0
- Low cost of deployment and operation
Confirmed measurable substances:
- Phycocyanin (using Spirulina (Spirulina fusiformis) power)
- Chlorophill a (using Chlorella (Chlorella vulgaris) powder)
- Mix of humic substances and various salts containing nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium (NPK)
- Presence of oil on water surface

How we do it:
1
Hardware
• Carefully chosen optical system combines filters, LEDs and detectors
• From CAD to PCBs, optical systems, electronics and waterproof cases – all tailored based on initial tests to get most robust and versatile combination
• Full spectrum measurements with outstanding dynamic range and sensitivity, all made with different excitation wavelengths
2
Software
• Full automation – designed with remote operation and data collection in mind
• Auto-calibration, data acquisition, data management and storage as well as communication algorithms are ready
3
Database
• Sensor is tested in a controlled laboratory environment – with predetermined concentrations of components (Chlorophyll, Phycocyanin, Carotenoids etc.) inside water with varying dissolved organic matter (DOM) amounts
• Data from all sensors is collected with blocks of metadata for ease of deployment in the future
