Pro-Oceanus Systems Device / Instrument

CO2-Pro™

Flagship submersible pCO2 sensor for shallow, productive waters, with a patented tubular interface for biofouling resistance and ±0.5% accuracy.

Description

The CO2-Pro™ is Pro-Oceanus' flagship submersible instrument for measuring the partial pressure of CO2 dissolved in water by infrared detection. Its patented supported tubular interface resists biofouling in three ways: high shear on the membrane surface, darkness and solid copper, which makes it suited to shallow waters in highly productive areas.

Key features

  • Accuracy ±0.5%, resolution 0.01 ppm
  • Standard ranges 0-600, 0-1000 and 0-2000 ppm; custom ranges available
  • Internal zeroing for a stable long-term baseline
  • Real-time data output with no post-processing; internal logger/controller with 2GB flash memory
  • Can be modified to measure both water and air pCO2
  • Factory calibrated with WMO traceable standard gases.

Applications

Ocean acidification, long-term ocean pCO2 monitoring, near-surface flux studies, coastal zone CO2 fluxes and shipboard flow-through pCO2 measurements.
