A miniature underwater Responder / Transponder, ‘Micron Data Modem’ is being launched at The Oceanology International ‘08 Exhibition on 11th March, Tritech stand 641.
Aberdeenshire based, subsea technology company, Tritech International are showcasing The Micron Data Modem, an exciting new development in the field of through-water communications.
The Modem provides robust spread spectrum data transmission from an extremely compact and low cost unit. The Modem can be used as a responder or transponder for ROV and AUV tracking applications. A remote battery powered option is also available.
Due to its very small size and low weight, it is suitable for a host of potential subsea data transfer applications that were previously impractical or uneconomic with larger, more expensive systems.
With a range of up to 1km from it’s omni-directional transducer and the ability to network multiple units subsea, the Micron Data Modem is a superb solution for many data through-water communication applications.

A brand new 35 h.p. – 60 h.p. Merlin excavation pump is being launched at The Subsea ‘08 Exhibition on 14 February, Tritech stand A5.
Aberdeenshire based, subsea technology company, Tritech International are showcasing the new Merlin, which is said to be small, light and robust, with great performance in both excavation and jetting functions.
Paul Hudson, Marketing Executive for Tritech says,
“The Merlin is the natural successor to the Excalibur pump, which has proved as efficient and reliable as the whole ZipJet family.”
The Merlin has been designed to avoid any block or jam as there are no moving parts in the suction flow path. A flow reversal valve can be operated to back flush the suction nozzle should there be an obstruction. Power is derived from a stream of high velocity fluid creating a low pressure region behind the suction nozzle. The pump has three modes of operation and may be rapidly switched from suction to jetting, or be configured to an intermediate position allowing jetting and excavation to be carried out simultaneously.
Merlin has been designed to provide ease of maintenance with a modular pump core. It has many applications including marine archaeology, removal of soft marine growth, deburial of subsea templates and manifolds, removal of drill cuttings and can break up and excavate most seabed types.
There are significant efficiency increases in both the impeller and eductor. The Merlin can be fitted to most work class ROVs – indeed, it is the tool that no WROV should be without.
The Merlin excavation pump will be on display at The Subsea ‘08 Exhibition at the AECC, Aberdeen, on 14 February, Tritech stand A5.

The Tritech Group’s fast growing international commercial network is generating considerable interest and building global awareness of recently acquired Sonar Research and Development (SRD).
Tritech International Ltd started trading in 1990 with the aim of producing the finest, most innovative range of subsea products for professional underwater markets.
In 2006 Tritech became part of Halma p.l.c. which also acquired SRD in 2007, now part of the Tritech Group. Tritech remains industry leader in the provision of sensors and tools for ROV and AUV markets. Expectations are high and the global brand is expected to produce great results.
Connecting SRD’s multibeam sonar technology with the international network of distributors will generate new business for the Group.
Maurice Fraser of Tritech’s International Business Development commented on the Group’s global network:“The acquisition of SRD into the Tritech Group is a fantastic opportunity to merge Tritech’s expertise in delivering innovative products to the subsea market, coupled with SRD’s reputation for delivering professional products and services with their multibeam sonar technology. With the help of our global distribution network the Tritech Group can now offer a full range of multibeam sonar products and bespoke project solutions tailored to the customers’ requirements.”
Tritech currently has agreements in place with 30 distributors around the globe, with plans to substantially increase its network over the coming year.
