"Innomar standard dual head" Sub-Bottom Profiler

Photo Innmar standard dual head SBP

From the wide range of Innomar parametric sub-bottom profilers the "Innomar standard" model is the most versatile one. The "dual-head" option givws even more possibilities: it can operate as dual-transducer system or in single-beam mode with increased range.

The high ping rate, small footprint and the possibility of transmitting sound pulses over a wide frequency range ensure sub-seafloor data with excellent resolution and very good sediment penetration. Electronic beam stabilization will give good results under bad weather conditions, too. A user-friendly data acquisition and system control software (SESWIN) provides the possibility for network remote operation as well as remote data visualization. The "Innomar standard dual head" model acquires full-waveform data that can be processed with any seismic software (SEG-Y format). Innomar also provides the ISE post-processing software specialized on the Innomar SBP data.
