Usable from less than one metre down to 500 metres
A unique feature of Innomar's parametric SBPs is the possibility to work in extremely shallow waters, even less than one metre. Devices can be mobilized on vessels of opportunity or autonomous platforms at various scales.
The "Innomar compact" model was designed for inshore surveys in shallow-water down to 400 metres water depth, but can also be used in coastal areas. Because of its small size and weight this system is convenient even on small boats. Controlled via Ethernet using any Windows based PC or laptop it is a user friendly and affordable design, too.
The "Innomar compact" 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.
Technical specifications are subject of change without notice.
Sub-bottom profiling in shallow waters is challenging for traditional systems and techniques due to wide-beam transducers, sidelobe patterns, ringing effects and high reverberation levels. The parametric technology used in our shallow-water models offers very narrow beams of less than 5 degrees with highly portable transducers and a high system bandwidth with sub-decimetre resolution.
The Innomar parametric sub-bottom profilers have been formerly also known as "SES-96", "SES-2000" or "Innomar SES" SBPs. Since 2020 new or improved models introduced do not use the term "SES-xx" in the model name any more.
