APPLICATION
During the last decade, sediments traps won acclaim
in the study of processes controlling biogeochemical cycling in the ocean.
These
instuments are considered by the international scientific community as the most
versatile and crucial tools for the collection of setting particles in a variety
of marine and limnetic environement.
The collected samples allow, through various laboratory analyses, the determination
of downward mass fluxes of particles and associated elementsas for exemple organic
and inorganic compounds (e.g.organic C, carbonates), or trace elements and polluants
(e.g. selected trace metals, radionuclides).
With a more than 45 years experience in the design and construction of automated
sediment traps, TECHNICAP is now offering a complete, state-of-the art product
range with the latest models of the PPS (Pièges à Particules Séquentiels)
time-series sediment trap family.
