Knowledge-Based Firm Produces Sea Water Measuring Device Operating Based on Tomography
The measuring device was unveiled in Tehran-hosted Innovation and Technology Exhibition known as INOTEX, the latest edition of which was held from May 7 to 10, 2024 at Pardis Technology Park, and hosted over 450 innovative and technological companies as exhibitors and more than 10 side events.
The device has been produced by a knowledge-based company as one of its latest products and it is a water data measurement device based on coastal acoustic tomography (CAT).
The CAT measures path-averaged currents from reciprocal acoustic transmission experiments and reconstructs velocity fields from the multiple path-averaged current data, and is useful for monitoring tidal currents in coastal shallow water, especially if data assimilation is employed.
The instrument measures water data such as discharge, velocity, temperature and salinity.
This device has audio transducers and receivers that are installed in the sea. It measures various water properties by sending out sound waves in the water in a specific section between the transducers and recording information section in the device's processor.
It can be used in sea deep waters and for environmental protection purposes. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional measurement of more than 30 properties of sea currents in a continuous and timely way and without the need for man intervention in order to study the sea and ocean, prepare long-term temperature data for global warming studies, measure current energy and determine the installation location of traction power systems to produce electricity, monitoring of marine areas and measuring current energy in different depths of the sea to determine the maximum energy available in each area for installing traversing turbines are the things that this marine and oceanic research device is used for.
Also, monitoring the output of coastal power plants, monitoring the thermal pollution of power plants near the sea, preparing flow speed maps in order to identify the suitable location for installing fish breeding cages, preparing temperature maps around fish breeding cages are other applications of this Iranian-made product.
