Swale Technologies and JFE Advantech sign distribution agreement at Ocean Business

Swale Technologies had a busy time at Ocean Business last week, and not just dealing with prospective customers. They also signed a new agreement to represent JFE Advantech – the Japanese manufacturer of high specification oceanographic instruments and sensors (including the well-known fast-response Rinko dissolved oxygen sensor).

JFE Advantech have many years of experience in underwater instruments, previously trading as Alec Electronics, and are widely used in the Asian markets. Their products have several unique features which set them aside from competitors. They offer fluorometers specifically designed for Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB), and characterisation of multiple species of plankton. Very high range Turbidity sensors, micro-scale dissolved oxygen eddy co-variance sensors and electromagnetic current sensors, useful for clear water where ADCPs are unsuitable. Many of their instruments have integrated wipers for anti-biofouling – including a CTD.

Swale Technologies has supplied underwater instrumentation and equipment to customers throughout the UK and Europe for 33 years. Customers include environmental agencies, researchers and operators in the civil engineering, defence, dredging, oil & gas, renewable energy and survey sectors.
