Products
Small autonomous oil-recovery surface vehicle
Compact surface vehicle for remote or autonomous skimming/absorption and recovery of oils and particulate floaters; incorporates onboard filtration/separation enabling controlled water discharge, electric propulsion to reduce noise and emissions, IP-rated enclosure and remote/wireless control with ~1 km operational range and sea-state capability.
Remediation vessel with reagent-dispensing and sensor payload
Remote or tether-capable vessel configured for dispersion of treatment reagents and integrated water-quality sensing; supports continuous dispersion via floating drift hoses and optional long tether hoses for localized or extended operations.
Polarization-enhanced RGB contamination detection camera
Camera and AI system combining polarization imaging and RGB multi-angle fusion to detect surface oil and contaminants under diverse lighting conditions; deployable on fixed mounts and mobile platforms.
Plant- and mineral-derived algal-removal reagent
Eco-focused reagent formulated to aggregate and remove algal biomass and suspended particulates via sedimentation and buoyancy-driven capture; subject to third-party ecotoxicity and acute-toxicity testing and registered with relevant water-treatment regulators and certification bodies.
Ground-control and fleet management dashboard
Server-backed operator interface that provides SLAM-based map visualization, route planning and execution, telemetry display (battery, load, damage, reagent and water-quality metrics) and data archival for fleet operations and monitoring.
Ove Cam
An AI-powered pollution recognition camera utilizing polarization and RGB technologies for multi-focus image analysis to detect oil spills across various environmental conditions with high accuracy.
