Low submerged weight and a collection method designed for minimal subed disturbance.
Proven SMD technology to 6000m operation depth.
Efficient, commercially viable method combines minimised processing on ship with maximised nodule collection.
Plastic tracks to minimise submerged weight.
The patent pending SMD QCollector (QC) range has been designed for the purpose of collecting polymetallic nodules in deep water. The range is available in a variety of sizes to suit vessel and client requirements.
Designed with a least impact philosophy at its core, the resultant technique and process form a unique, energy-efficient solution that minimises any impact on both the seabed and surrounding environment.
