From Sound to Insight: Explore the Power of Acoustic Sensors
Acoustic sensors are transforming how we monitor, protect, and operate in aquatic environments—detecting underwater noise, emissions, and environmental change in real time.
In today's maritime and environmental sectors, acoustic sensors are essential tools for real-time monitoring, regulatory compliance, and sustainability. These devices help detect underwater noise pollution, monitor emissions, ensure safer navigation, and protect marine biodiversity—all by capturing and interpreting sound.
What Are Acoustic Sensors?
Acoustic sensors detect, measure, and convert sound waves into actionable data. Whether monitoring underwater noise, tracking emissions, or guiding ships safely through unknown territories, these devices are the "ears" of modern maritime technology.
Tracking marine life and soundscapes
Identifying environmental and industrial noise
Supporting safe navigation
Measuring compliance with sound and emissions standards
Acoustic Wave Sensors
These sensors use acoustic waves to detect physical or chemical changes in the environment—such as pressure, temperature, or gas presence.
Acoustic waves interact with substances or surfaces, and changes in wave behavior (frequency, velocity, etc.) reveal environmental variations.
Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Sensors
Ideal for chemical/gas detection
Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) Sensors
High-precision readings of pressure or temperature
Love Wave Sensors
Excellent for monitoring changes in liquid environments
Noise Level Sensors
These sensors measure the intensity of sound (in decibels) to assess noise levels in any given environment.
Using transducers and microphones, they capture acoustic signals, filter background noise, and provide real-time measurements of noise intensity.
Environmental monitoring
Urban and industrial zones require constant monitoring to ensure noise levels remain within acceptable limits.
Underwater construction noise tracking
Monitors noise levels from marine construction to minimize impact on aquatic life.
Marine wildlife protection zones
Ensures noise levels remain below thresholds that could disturb or harm protected species.
Compliance with regulations
Helps organizations meet international noise pollution regulations and standards.
Emissions Sensors
Designed to detect and quantify pollutants (e.g., CO₂, NOx, SOx) released into the air or water, emissions sensors support environmental compliance.
Sensors record acoustic emissions from engines or machinery and analyze patterns to identify emission sources, helping industries take corrective action.
Temperature Sensors
Monitor heat levels from exhaust systems
Pressure Sensors
Detect fluctuations in fluid/gas pressure
Surface Sensors
Monitor heat, pressure, or moisture on machinery or ship hulls
