Continuous Data Keeps Brazilian Ports’ Business Flowing
HidroMares has installed its SISMO systems at seven port complexes around Brazil, from ocean terminals in the south to an inland river port in the Amazon basin. At the heart of each system is a SonTek acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP), which provides current velocity and direction data throughout the water column, as well as water level.

HydroSurveyor Enables Rapid Reservoir Surveys
The ARC-Boat was developed by HR Wallingford and employs SonTek-proprietary Acoustic Doppler Profiler (ADP®) technology. The HydroSurveyor is a highly sophisticated system which includes 5-beam depth sounding, water velocity profiling and navigation capabilities. When mounted in the ARC boat, the HydroSurveyor scans the reservoir as it is guided across the water’s surface. Recorded data is then analyzed by HydroSurveyor software to produce accurate depth measurement in addition to bathymetry maps of the entire water body. With a small amount of post-processing in GIS or 3-D CAD, an accurate water volume can be determined.

Aquavar IPC with NEMA 3R enclosure helps make farming operations more efficient and profitable
Pumps are everywhere in agriculture, essential both for irrigation and for heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC). But water needs change, and irrigation systems don’t always require a constant flow rate or constant pressure. Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are electric controllers that vary the speed of the pump, allowing the pump to respond smoothly and efficiently to fluctuations in demand.
