Seatrec & Mepeco join forces

Seatrec technology are now distributed by Mepeco!

Seatrec was founded in 2016 by their CEO, Dr. Yi Chao. Their core technology originated at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, to provide clean power for remote off-grid locations. With funding from private investors, government grants, and industry contracts, Seatrec further developed this thermal energy technology and released its first commercial product in 2019. They're continuing to build a robust product line of power solutions and computational tools for offshore applications including seafloor mapping, meteorology, and marine animal conservation.
 
From a visionary prototype in 2009, SOLO-TREC revolutionized underwater exploration as the first UUV powered solely by the ocean’s temperature differences. With its initial success of performing 1000 daily profiles at 500 meters, SOLO-TREC set a new possibility for oceanic data collection. After spinning out the technology from JPL, we founded Seatrec. Seatrec first product was the SL-1, which was coupled with a Sea-bird Navis float (Navis SL-1).  Seatrec latest product – the infiniTE™  float – combines our energy-patented system into a new vertically integrated float system capable of supporting power-hungry sensors like echosounders and hydrophones. With the infiniTE™ float leading the charge, ocean data capture has reached a new level of discovery.

HydraSeis Multi-Channel Seismic Streamer

The HydraSeis UHR system has been developed to acquire digital multi-channel Ultra- High Resolution (UHR) seismic data. The design methodology of the HydraSeis system compliments applied acoustics existing range of Ultra- High Resolution sound sources to provide a step change in performance for data quality.

The in- water internal 16kHz 24-Bit ADC modules provide digital low noise, wide bandwidth data acquisition. The 100MBps network data link to the system console provides continuous Ultra-High Resolution recording coupled with external navigation integration.  

The flexible modular system allows for 2D and 3D UHR data acquisition at fast shot intervals for a wide range of marine geophysical survey applications.
