CRAB ECOWATER
In the processes of invasive bivalve control, numerous situations of difficult treatment are presented. A single negligence, an erroneous calculation, an indefinitely verified area, a measurement of poorly performed parameters, may suppose the failure of a control operation.
If we add to these variables that the action environment is performed in immersion situations, the challenge is presented as a level 9 goal.
Many of the control actions carried out at the facilities affected by the settlement of L.fortunei are carried out "blindly". Difficulties in observing a submerged infrastructure (generally pipes, grids, gates and panels) prevent accurate verification of the conditions under which the control task is to be performed, the quality of the action and the outcome of the treatment.
Thanks to CRAB ECOWATER, we can guarantee unlimited detection, control and maintenance operations with 100% reliability (cleaning tasks in submerged narrow infrastructures, recording of images, sending signals via satellite, easy handling, low consumption, low cost operational, etc.) The ECOWATER CRAB, in addition to visualizing the settlement environment, will indicate up to 6 parameters of the physicochemical conditions of the water body.
The service is usually performed by divers who, after an eye inspection, report the observed situation. This process is expensive and subject to interpretation criteria that do not always reflect the facts as they actually occur. Years of experience, make us state on this subject with objective criteria.
How are we going to introduce a diver into a 45 cm diameter, 20 meter long tube?
These difficulties and others of an operational nature, we had to solve after numerous field and laboratory work. The result: the robot CRAB ECOWATER.
This equipment allows us to perform detection, control and maintenance tasks, which only a few years ago would be difficult, not to say impossible to execute.
CRAB ECOWATER HAS BEEN CREATED TO WORK ON THE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF THE L. fortunei
