Underwater survey tool
The new generation SeaBat 7125 offers dual frequency for remotely operated vehicle (ROV) use to as deep as 6,000 m.
Users can shift ROV frequency at any time in seconds, helping to optimize survey time and offering more freedom in the water.
In bathymetric mode, side scan and Snippet allow swift determination of found objects. Autopilot seafloor tracking helps minimize the need to intervene manually. And users can record AVI-video from the graphic user interface.

New gas detection alarm controller series
The new WX Series of gas detection alarm controllers consists of three units: WX4 (four-channel controller), the WX16 (16-channel controller), and the WX64 (64-channel controller).
The WX4 is designed for continuous monitoring of as many as four analog or digital gas measurements. Its optional wireless technology can receive and transmit gas readings wirelessly.
The WX16, designed for continuous monitoring of as many as 16 analog or digital gas measurements, comes standard with two RS-485 ports and can be configured to receive and transmit wirelessly. Other features include programmable relays, a backlit LCD screen, and 24-hr data logging.
The WX64 is designed for continuous monitoring of as many as 64 analog or digital gas measurements. It offers a color display, data logging via 2GB SD card, zoning, dual RS-485 ports, and programmable relays. It also has a convenient embedded web page that enables remote viewing and configuration of all 64 channels via a standard web browser.
In addition to the individual features, the WX Series controllers offer the convenience of communicating seamlessly with each other via their analog, digital, or wireless signals. This provides the flexibility to enable local area controllers to report their readings back to a primary alarm controller.

New shaker handles changing drilling conditions
The new Mongoose Pro next generation drilling shaker operates in two modes—capacity and efficiency.
The efficiency mode is a progressive elliptical motion that produces 6.5 G. The capacity mode is a balanced elliptical motion that produces 7.5 G. The patent-pending progressive elliptical motion has been field proved on the MD-3 shale shaker, which allows flexibility to handle changing drilling conditions. The progressive elliptical motion separates solids and moves them out of the pool area while increasing the residence time on the drying area, resulting in dryer cuttings, the company says.
The shaker uses patented Duraflo composite screens that seal to the shaker deck thanks to the P-Seal that is integrated into the shaker screen beds and simple wedges that are positioned into place. The composite screen bends to conform to the arch, creating a tight seal while also providing performance, service life, and API screening area.

new Unit treats shale gas waste water
The new MoVap unit is specifically designed for waste-water treatment needs of oil and gas producers.
Initial deployment began in the Marcellus shale region of western Pennsylvania, the firm notes.
When fully treated with the proprietary MoVap, waters can be reused or returned to the environment in compliance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits, the company points out.
The unit is designed to reduce the volume of high total dissolved solids-laden waste waters from hydraulic fracturing operations on the well pad.
MoVap represents what its developer says is a reliable, sustainable, and adaptable solution. The on-site treatment capability makes it possible to know where the waste water is going and how the water is managed throughout its life cycle.
Because the unit is mobile, it can be transported to virtually any well pad. In addition, the company provides easy access to turnkey services that include a shale gas team accessible 24/7/365.

New wheeled light tower
Suited for wet areas and carrying a Class 1, Division 2 rating, these towers can illuminate 25,000 sq ft of work area. Units are designed to provide protection in locations where flammable vapors and gases may occasionally be encountered.
The HAL-1X400MCE extendable wheeled light tower is constructed of nonsparking aluminum finished in a powder coat. It can be lowered to 5 ft and extended to a maximum of 8 ft.
