«TRITON»-BASED UNDERWATER AND WELL MAGNETOMETER-GRADIOMETER

Application:

- Automated real-time survey and magnetic field mapping
  of geomagnetic anomalies on the land and in the sea;

- Geophysical well logging, real-time inspection and telemetry
  of drilled or used oil and gas wells, mines and boreholes;

- Underwater archeology and geohysics.

Key features:

- High resolution from 1.0 nT to 0.1 nT (optionally);

- Wide ±70 000 nT or ±180 000 nT (optionally) measurement range;

- Up to 12x 3-component sensors can be used simultaneously;

- Sensors networking at distances up to 2 km and more;

- Can be integrated with ROV and optionally equipped by special channel
  to transfer measured data in real time to the ROV controller on the ship;

- Anyone topology of magnetic field sensor can be chosen from
  single fluxgate element to gradiometer or 3-component topology;

- Making possible to provide magnetic measurements down to 1 km under water;

- USB/RS-232 interface to connect custom GNSS receiver, or RTK system,
  or sea radar (e.g. Trimble R8, Emlid Reach RS+, Lowrance Elite-7 Ti, etc.);

- Real-time color map, linear graph and digital indication of measurements;

- Being connected to the personal computer the Triton system works
  like a standard USB flash drive, does not require any software driver;

- Output data format compatible with Surfer and Google Earth.

System architecture:

Price is composed from measurement system configuration:

1. Price of basic kit composed from 1 magnetic field sensor with acquisition unit,
    (with GNSS receiver built-in), 2 accumulators, charger, USB-to-PC data cable
    and sensor cable with up to 8 meter length is 4790$.

2. Each additional meter of sensor cable add in the price of 60$.

3. Acquisition unit can maintain up to 12 gradiometer and 3-component sensors simultaneously.
3.1. Each additional gradiometer magnetic field sensor adds in the price of 550$.
3.2. Each additional 3-component magnetic field sensor adds in the price of 690$.

4. Odometer on the base of incremental encoder adds in the price of 250$.

5. RTK system consists of receiver, base station with folding tripod
    and set of accumulators with charger adds in the price of 3200$.
