Last week, Jérôme SAGOT from NKE presented to the #ARGO community the very last performance results of our profiling floats: reliability, performance, long lasting autonomy…

Our BGC argo floats can embed lots of sensors, with 60% more energy, to meet the needs of ocean studies.

Thanks to the AST23 organizers and all the participants!

Thank you very much to all of you for coming to NKE booth! It was very good to finally be back at Oceanology International in London!

The nke buoys placed on the Ailes Marines wind farm in Saint Brieuc Bay provide a glimpse of the Eunice storm in the area last week! 🔎

On February 21 at 7:00am, the buoys recorded:
🌊 a wave height of 5.65 meters
🌪️ a wind speed of 68 km/h

Last week, the NKE Team was at Ifremer in Brest to tests some profiling floats to finalize the production.

3 CTS4 profiling floats equipped with pH and DO sensors and 3 CTS4 Jumbo (they have more batteries) equipped with pH, DO, REM-A and SUNA sensors were tested.

Ready to be deployed at sea! 🌊

The first batch of oceanographic buoys provided by NKE have just been deployed!

It’s already been 15 years now since nke has installed a network of instrumented buoys in front of the EDF Le Blayais nuclear power plant.

These buoys aim to measure temperature in real time from sea surface to bottom, when the Blayais nuclear power plant rejects cooling water in the river.

Yannick was recently on the field to make some tests regarding our oceanographic buoys.
Those buoys aim to measure in real time the turbidity level at 150 meters below the water surface and 3 meters above the bottom.

Drones were deployed in the Port of Barcelona to monitor the water quality as they will collect geolocated samples that will later be analyzed in laboratory.

WiMo multiparameter probes are being mounted on the drones to record in real time some parameters related to water quality. Those data are transmitted in real time via 4G.

From the right to the left of Euro-Argo ERIC picture you can see an ARVOR, a DEEP ARVOR, a PROVOR CTS4 and a PROVOR CTS5 Jumbo.

Those BGC PROVOR CTS5 profiling floats can embed lots of sensors and allow you to have +60% more energy and the Jumbo-e has an extension board to embed more sensors!

In April 2020, the company Ailes Marines chose NKE to provide 7 oceanographic buoys which aim to collect and record meteorological and environmental measurements.

NKE sales team is pleased to present you Stefan Raimund – its new sales manager as he will aim to strengthen and develop NKE sales force on the international market.

Stefan has a strong scientific background:

👨🏻‍🎓 Ph.D. thesis in marine chemistry

🔬 Scientific consultant in a German company specialized in the subsea and marine technology

In a nutshell, the GreenHull projects aims to improve environmental protection by developing innovative green technologies for in-water hull cleaning in addition to effective cross-border management of the produced wastewater and waste arising from the hull cleaning procedure in the Northern Adriatic Sea.
