Innomar light: Portable Parametric Sub-Bottom Profiler

The Industry Standard for High-Resolution Inshore Surveys

Product Overview

The Innomar light is a compact, high-performance parametric sub-bottom profiler (SBP) specifically engineered for survey operations on small boats and in shallow-water environments. It is the perfect entry-point for professionals who require the precision of Innomar’s parametric technology in a highly portable, user-friendly package.

Ideal for water depths between 0.5 and 400 meters, the "light" model integrates the transceiver electronics and a control PC with a 10-inch touchscreen display into a single desktop unit. This "plug-and-play" design minimizes mobilization time, making it the go-to choice for river, lake, and coastal surveys where vessel space is at a premium.

Why Choose the Innomar light?

  • Parametric Advantage: Unlike conventional chirp systems, the Innomar light uses non-linear acoustics to produce a narrow, focused beam (approx. 4°) that is virtually free of side lobes, ensuring crisp data in shallow, high-reverberation areas.
  • All-In-One Design: The topside unit features a built-in PC and display, removing the need for external laptops and complex cabling on deck.
  • Superior Resolution: Capable of a layer resolution of up to 5 cm, it can distinguish between thin sediment horizons that other systems blur together.
  • High Penetration: Despite its portable size, it can penetrate up to 40 meters into the seabed (depending on sediment type), revealing complex geological structures and buried objects.

  • Versatile Depth Range: Operates effectively from ultra-shallow waters (0.5 m) down to 400 m.
  • Narrow-Beam Acoustics: A constant 4° beam width across all frequencies provides high spatial resolution and minimizes interference from nearby structures or sloping beds.
  • Multiple Frequencies: Utilizes a 100 kHz primary frequency for accurate bottom tracking while generating user-selectable low frequencies (4–15 kHz) for sub-bottom imaging.
  • Multi-Ping Mode: Enables high pulse rates (up to 50 Hz), maintaining exceptional horizontal data density even at higher survey speeds.
  • Digital 24-bit Acquisition: Records full-waveform raw data (SES3 format), which can be easily exported to SEG-Y or XTF for processing in any seismic software.
  • Heave Compensation: Supports external motion sensor data to ensure stable data in moving water.
