Van Essen Instruments

offers a complete portfolio with regards to technology as well as advice in the field of groundwater monitoring networks. Reliable and accurate sensors are being combined with the latest developments in the field of wireless communication and data

visualization. Van Essen Instruments not only offers high-quality groundwater data but also solutions to manage a groundwater monitoring network more effective and efficient.

Diver-Suite

Diver-Suite from Van Essen Instruments provides a robust line of Diver dataloggers for groundwater and environmental professionals. The Diver dataloggers accurately measure and record fluctuations in groundwater levels, temperature and conductivity. 

Suitable for Any Environment

From the technologically advanced TD-Diver to the corrosion resistant CTD-Diver, Diver dataloggers are hermetically sealed to external influences. Electrical and/or environmental effects cannot affect the measurement results.

With an extended battery life up to 10 years, this translates to long-term uninterrupted service. Divers can be used from 300 meters below to 5,000 meters above sea level without the need to reprogram the datalogger.

All Divers operate from -20 to 80 °C.

Accurate Measurements

Divers monitor groundwater pressure with a typical accuracy of ±0.05% full scale range from 0 to 50 °C. The CTD-Diver is equipped with a four-electrode sensor for recording conductivity with an accuracy of ±1% of reading

TD-Diver

Superior Long-term Performance

The TD-Diver is based on an ingenious and proven concept and is acknowledged as the most reliable instrument for the autonomous measuring and recording of groundwater level and temperature. Its internal working memory of 72,000 measurements per parameter provides sufficient capacity to perform one measurement every 15 minutes for over 2 years. For each measurement, the Diver registers the date and time, groundwater level, and temperature.

• Long-term groundwater monitoring
  
• Watershed and recharge area monitoring
• Storm water discharge

Baro-Diver

Reference of Choice

The Baro-Diver ensures that you accurately capture changes in atmospheric pressure. Conveniently priced and easy to deploy, one Baro-Diver covers a radius of up to 15 km, depending on the topography.

The Baro-Diver can also be used for measuring shallow water levels up to approximately 0.9 meter. The Baro-Diver has an internal working memory capable of storing 72,000 measurements per parameter.

For each measurement, the Baro-Diver simultaneously registers barometric pressure, air temperature, date and time.

• Atmospheric pressure
  
• Wetlands monitoring
• Flood management

Micro-Diver

Compact Size

Measuring only 88 mm in length and 18 mm in diameter, the Micro-Diver is the smallest Diver capable of accurately recording groundwater levels and temperature. The Micro-Diver is specifically designed for monitoring wells or drive-points too small to

accommodate larger dataloggers. In addition to its compact size, the MicroDiver’s memory capacity can store up to 48,000 measurements per parameter - almost one measurement every ten minutes for an entire year. 

• Engineering and construction
  
• Shallow water monitoring
• Aquifer characterization

Cera-Diver

Corrosion Proof

Monitoring groundwater under potentially corrosive conditions, such as brackish water and seawater, requires a robust and durable datalogger. The ceramic-shelled Cera-Diver is designed specifically for such environments. This highly reliable and compact Diver measures groundwater levels with a typical accuracy of ±0.05% full scale. The Cera-Diver is equipped with a memory for 48,000 measurements per parameter.

• Estuary monitoring
  
• Heap leach
• Underground plume monitoring

CTD-Diver

3 Parameters in 1 Housing

Where there is a need to monitor groundwater levels and saltwater intrusion, injected wastewater, or contamination from chemical discharges and landfill sites, the CTD-Diver with its rugged, corrosion proof

ceramic housing, is the instrument of choice.The CTD-Diver is equipped with a four-electrode conductivity sensor that measures electrical conductivity from 0 to 120 mS/cm. There are two options for measuring conductivity: true or specific conductivity at 25 °C. Additionally, pressure and temperature are measured and recorded.

• Mine tailings
  
• Pollution monitoring
• Water quality monitoring
