A newly developed water sampling system enables autonomous detection and sampling of underwater oil plumes. The Midwater Oil Sampler collects multiple 1-L samples of seawater when preset criteria are met. The sampler has a hydrocarbon-free sample path and can be configured with several modules of six glass sample bottles. In August 2019, the sampler was deployed on an autonomous underwater vehicle and captured targeted water samples in natural oil seeps offshore Santa Barbara, CA, USA.
一种新开发的水样采集系统能够对水下油柱进行自主检测和采样。中层水油采样器在满足预设标准时可采集多个1升海水样本。该采样器具有无碳氢化合物的采样路径,并且可以配置为带有六个玻璃样品瓶的几个模块。2019年8月,该采样器部署在一艘自主水下航行器上,并在美国加利福尼亚州圣巴巴拉海岸的天然油渗区采集了目标水样。
