The ROSUB team brought laurels to NIOT by successfully completing deep water sea trials for the ROSUB system and acquired sea bed videos with scientic pay loads (Oxygen, conductivity, temperature, water samples, short core sampler, etc.). The team also carried out rst deep sea exploration trials at Gas Hydrates site o Krishna Godavari basin at 1019m depth. The Coastal and Environmental Engineering division, besides carrying out plan projects with long term interest such as establishment of Coastal HF Radar Network, Shore Protection measures and Technical Criteria Atlas, has taken up the major consultancy work on the much awaited Kalpasar Project of Gujarat and the work is in progress. The Ocean Acoustics group took up the development of stateof-the-art measurement technologies such as acoustic vector sensors and continued the measurement and analysis of ocean ambient noise which could also enable intruder detection. In the Ocean Observation Systems arena, prototype Deep Ocean Bo om Pressure Recorder has been developed and trials were carried out. Indigenized data acquisition system have also been developed, successfully tested and incorporated in the tsunami buoys. It gives me a great pleasure to inform that the Technology Demonstration Vessel of NIOT SAGAR NIDHI became the rst Indian agged vessel to reach Antarctica. The vessel has been regularly involved in undertaking deep sea technology demonstration for exploration of minerals and maintaining the Tsunami Warning systems and other crucial missions. I am condent that the laudable eorts of NIOT family members will continue in the years to come. With the support from the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India and other well wishers, we promise you to take you to greater depths.

pollution. A small temperature gradient of about 8-10C, is sucient to utilize the concept. The principle of the desalination process involves boiling water at low pressure in a ash chamber and condensing the resultant vapor in a condenser. The warm and cold water for this plant is drawn from the power plant condenser inlet water (surface sea water from the nearby sea approx. 28C) and condenser outlet water (approx. 36C) respectively. The plant has been designed with the existing major components, like ash chamber, condenser, vacuum system and the steel support structures, belonging to the 1 MLD barge mounted desalination plant. The structure to house the plant components was designed a er conducting detailed soil tests in the area. A pump was placed in a newly constructed RCC sump to provide warm water to the ash chamber. A fraction of the cold water ow intended for the main power plant condenser is bypassed to the LTTD plant. The head available in the condenser inlet water is sucient to pass the cold water through the condenser and hence it does not require an

additional pump for this purpose. The nal piping connections between the LTTD plant and the main power plant were completed during their annual maintenance schedules without aecting their normal operation. The main power consumption of the plant is the warm sea water pump and vacuum system. The warm water was ash evaporated at about 33C and freshwater is generated using the temperature gradient available between the reject water and the inlet water belonging to the condenser of the power plant. The cold water exit temperature was measured at about 31C. The fresh water generated was measured in terms of quality and quantity and conforms to drinking water standards. The performance evaluation studies are under progress and the plant is being operated using contract manpower. Eect of temperature drop in ash chamber and Condenser with varying vaccum conditions is shown in the graph. A workshop was held with industries in association with CII on 16th February 2010 in NIOT Campus. A visit was organized for the CII members to see the operation of the LTTD plant at NCTPS.

Development of Underwater Collection and Crushing Systems for Manganese Nodule Mining
The underwater sand mining machine developed during the previous phases of the Deep-sea Mining programme has been modied for manganese nodule mining by addition of manganese nodule collector, crusher, S-transfer tube positive displacement pump, enhanced hydraulics, instrumentation and control systems. The machine will have to be tested at 500 m depth prior to further developmental work for 6000 m depth. As manganese nodules are not available at 500 m depth, it is planned to create a mining site similar to that of the CIOB using articial nodules to qualify the modied mining system. A remotely operated articial nodule laying system has been developed for the same and tested at 500 m depth.
The Integrated mining system with all its associated sub systems has been tested for its functionality in the integration bay and at the test pond of NIOT.

alloys using 4643 and 5356 electrodes. Heat treatment of Al 6061 T6 and 4643 welds can lead to improved weld strengths up to 90%. The work is being carried out with the involvement of Metallurgy Department of IIT Madras.
Soil Machine interaction studies have been proposed with creation of facilities to simulate various deep sea oor conditions with the involvement of Mining Engineering Department of Anna University. Performance of various polymetallic nodule, nodule pick up devices and crawler tracked vehicles in so sea oor can be studied with dierent operating parameters to improve the overall eciency of nodule collection.
Studies on Hydraulic Li ing and Plugging of Large Solids in Hoses with Specic Reference to Manganese Nodule Mining using Flexible Riser Concept
Understanding the performance of hydrotransport system at the maximum particle size and the maximum expected concentration forms, one of the most critical aspects in deep-sea nodule li ing systems. Experimental studies have been proposed at IIT Madras to study the plugging behaviour of solids in hoses considering various hydrotransport parameters. Existing facilities at IIT Madras and the hydrotransport test facility created by NIOT are being extensively used for this study.
In-situ soil strength values are very useful inputs for design of underwater crawler. Tracability of an Integrated Deep Sea Mining System is mainly dictated by the shear strength of sea bed. Further identication of areas with very low bearing strength is important to prevent sinkage of the mining machine. A remotely operable in-situ soil tester has been realized and tested at 5200 m in the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB). The tester has been made compact with enhanced features and converted into a totally electrical system now. A new sub- sea termination assembly for the sub-sea electro optic cable of soil tester was completed and tested. The compact soil tester will be used to delineate the mine site for areas having very so soil strength. A Deep Ocean Remotely Operable Sub-sea Mining System (DOROSMIN) for very so sea oor is being jointly developed with IIT Madras. The compact soil tester will also be integrated with DOROSMIN in the future.

OCEAN ACOUSTICS
Acoustics oers the most eective means of exploring the ocean and judging the underwater environment. The key to successful interpretation of sound in the ocean lies in research eorts that are both scientic and technologydevelopment oriented. Thus, part of the research concerns improving the fundamental understanding of underwater acoustic phenomena, while others focus on the development of measurement systems and techniques with which to test and apply our understanding. The group focuses on research, development and implementation, and interpretation in signicant areas of underwater acoustics given below where in only a very few initiatives have been taken up in our country in the last one decade. Ambient noise measurement, analysis & characterization. Ambient noise prediction/modeling Acoustic vector sensor for shallow water applications Sea bed classication/characterization.

Development of Vector Sensor for Underwater Acoustic Source Localization and Signal Estimation
Source detection and localization is normally done using scalar acoustic sensors (Hydrophones). At NIOT the development of Vertical linear array in collaboration with M/s Keltron Ceramics, Ku ipuram has been completed and is used for directionality applications. Since small array of vectors sensors is expected to have superior performance when compared to traditional hydrophone arrays, the development of vector sensors in collaboration with M/s Keltron Ceramics, has been taken up. The vector sensor measures acoustic pressure as well as acoustic particle velocity components in three directions caused by sound waves in the water. This is accomplished by triaxial accelerometers which measure the acceleration in three orthogonal directions. Design specications have been nalized and fabrication has commenced.
