WTS-LV Large Volume Pump

Model WTS-LV, WTS-LVDF, LV08, LV30

Single-event large volume sampler that filters suspended and dissolved particulates in situ onto a 142mm membrane filter, to 5,500m.

Description

The Large Volume Water Transfer System (WTS-LV) is a single-event sampler that collects suspended and dissolved particulate samples in situ onto a 142mm membrane filter, targeting e.g. chlorophyll maximum, particulate trace metals and phytoplankton. A dynamic pump speed algorithm adjusts as material accumulates. Configurations: Standard, Upright (three times the battery life), Bore Hole (fits a 30cm bore-hole) and Dual Filter (WTS-LVDF).

Key features

  • Max depth: 5,500m (standard model), 5,000m (upright model)
  • LV08 flow rate: 1 to 8 liters/min
  • LV30 flow rate: 5 to 30 liters/min
  • Max volume: 5,000 liters (10 Ahr battery); 36,000 liters (30 Ahr battery)

Applications

  • Particulate trace metal and chlorophyll maximum sampling
  • Phytoplankton collection; bore-hole deployment with the Bore Hole configuration
