Equipped with sensors, it can also can measure water quality (temperature, salinity, turbidity, cyanobacteria and phytoplankton concentrations) and perform bathymetric surveys up to 20m deep.
The Jellyfishbot Expert
To meet the specific pollution control needs of the industrial and anti-pollution ( oil ) sectors, IADYS has redesigned its product ranges and launched a brand new range, the Expert range. The Jellyfishbot Expertand Jellyfishbot Expert + stand out from the pleasure-boat range by the general reinforcement of the robot’s components to make them more robust and solid, proof against the damage of use in industrial environments. The remote control has also been improved, and is now hardened and waterproof.
The Mobile Oil Skimmer (MOS)
The Mobile Oil Skimmer is a unique system designed not only for clean-up companies, but also for government anti-pollution services (military, fire department, etc.) and industrial sites. Comprising a Jellyfishbot Expert, a skimmer and a storage platform, this system enables oil to be collected without the use of consumables (reducing operating costs), and to intervene in narrow, shallow-draft areas, along riverbanks for example. In addition to its great mobility, its main asset is its autonomy: it has no connection to the ground.
The user pilots it remotely, in complete safety, without being exposed to pollution, and positions it directly where the oil has spilled. The tank has a 120 L / 32-gal storage capacity and is filled with a skimming flow rate of 15 L / 4 gal per minute. The draining takes less than 5 min without having to get out of the water.
