FRAC SAND ANALYSIS – SOLIDSIZER

The CANTY SolidSizer™ is a vision-based sensor used with the CANTY Vector System image processor for dry sand size measurement in a laboratory environment. The CantyVision™ Software accurately measures multiple aspects of the sand from area / perimeter / minor and major axis / etc. In comparison to a sieve which measures only minor axis the CantyVision™ software can correlate directly to a sieve so the customer does not have to change any QC documents. The SolidSizer™ can correlate within 2% of a sieve. A typical sieve analysis takes anywhere from 20-30 minutes including cleaning and setup for a 70-100 gram sample. On the SolidSizer™ that same sample takes less than 2 minutes. Also multiple screen distributions can be setup to accommodate multiple customers or areas in the process, hence eliminating the need for multiple runs on the same sand for different size distributions. After correlating to current methods of minor axis, customers find benefit in comparing minor axis to major axis and making sure the sand is round instead of needle shaped. Reduce lab time and make sure production samples are not skipped over due to lack of sample time available!

HYDROGEN REFORMER – ULTRATEMP

The CANTY Ultratemp™ is a vision-based camera system used with the CANTY Vector System image processor to monitor temperature of the tubes inside a hydrogen reformer. The CantyVision™ Software accurately measures temperature as well as bend in the tube for complete control. In comparison to thermocouples which are costly, not reliable, and monitor only one tube, a camera system can monitor multiple tubes at the same time. The CantyVision™ software can output a signal to alarm if the tube has increased in temperature over a certain time to an operator screen, PLC, or DCS for closed loop control. The steam can then be introduced to clean the tube and avoid plugging and then switch back to the natural gas. The pyrometer is not effective for controlling the temperature in the reformer due to the time intervals in between analysis is taken. Also, not everyone measures at the same point and this could lead to a change in temperature when a change never occurred. To calibrate the system the pyrometer can be used initially. If the temperature in the tubes increase over 10°C over 10 min, a plug has a chance to take place. With the Ultratemp™ this event can be avoided completely.

OIL IN WATER – INFLOW

The CANTY Inflow™ with CantyVision™ Software provides real-time, vision-based measurement of oil in water, accurately distinguishing oil, solids, and gas for reliable data. Unlike fluorescence monitors, it enables visual verification, droplet size analysis, and calibration to existing lab methods, helping optimize separator performance and chemical treatment. In-line monitoring and optional video recording ensure continuous analysis without missed production samples.

HYDROCARBON – INFLOW

The CANTY Inflow™ is a vision-based camera system used with the CANTY Vector System image processor for water in hydrocarbons and particles in hydrocarbons in a lab environment / at-line / in-line process. The presence of these two physical contaminants is a problem for equipment the hydrocarbon is going into. The CantyVision™ Software accurately measures multiple aspects of the hydrocarbons from water / solids / gas independent of each other for accurate data. In comparison to a laser and capacitance, which measures only one dimension and can’t identify the difference of water and solids in the stream. The CantyVision™ software can identify the differences. The customer can also visually verify the readings. Hydrocarbon contamination takes place mainly in production and transportation. CANTY objectively takes the measurement and reports based on a two dimensional image. Solids & water are all measured and continuously and objectively monitored. By knowing whether there is a water or solids problem this helps the operators identify how to fix the problem. The Inflow™ is an in-line analysis system to make sure production samples are not skipped over!

DESALTER – INFLOW

The CANTY Inflow™ is a vision-based camera system used with the CANTY Vector System image processor for OiW & WiO concentration and size measurement in-line: the crude inlet, crude outlet, & effluent water. The CantyVision™ Software accurately measures multiple aspects of the OiW & WiO from oil / water / solids / gas independent of each other for accurate data. In comparison to a florescence monitor, which measures only oil and is affected by solids and gas in the stream. The CantyVision™ software can identify the differences and the customer can visually verify the readings. The Inflow™ can calibrated with the customers current lab method to make for easy instillation in the field. Determining PPM on the inlet will help optimize the desalter intake and verify what is entering the unit. Providing PPM on the outlets the desalter will benefit the effluent water side for EPA regulations as well as the crude side to increase production efficiency. The interface can be controlled through automaic sampling, instead of having to take sample test bottles. Video recording is an option for later analysis. In-line analysis makes sure production samples are not skipped over due to lack of time!

Sugar Pan – Fuseview™

The Fuseview™ eliminates the chance of glass getting into the evaporators or sugar pans by over torque of the operators. Also, it allows for the sugar pan to pull full vacuum unlike tempered glass.

CENTRIFUGE – CAMERA

CANTY’s dynamic imaging technology uses a combined camera & light system mounted to the top of the centrifuge, to provide a remote view of the process conditions in the control room. The system can also be used in conjunction with CANTYVISION image analysis software to provide important process measurements. In a continuous centrifuge, the system can track the position of the color line, allowing the operator to adjust the feed conditions to maintain a relatively stationary color line position and optimize washing efficiency. In a batch centrifuge, the system can measure the product or “cake” thickness on the basket wall during filling, and determine when the product is dry enough after spinning, to move onto the next production stage without material quality / handling issues that may be caused by high moisture content.

CENTRIFUGE – TURBIDITY MONITOR

The Canty Inflow™ is an excellent tool for controlling a centrifuge to determine percent solids & turbidity of filter breakthrough in the effluent stream, where product is being washed away. This is measured in-line in the effluent stream after the centrifuge.

CLARIFIER – TURBIDITY MONITOR

CANTY provides a direct inline color & turbidity analyzer, to analyse the fluid discharged from the clarification process, in order to determine if it is within specification. Combining CANTY’s imaging, fused glass and lighting technologies, the colour of the liquid can be analysed on a number of color scales (YUV, RGB, Lab), which can be taken as a direct measurement, or related to a specific NTU or FTU turbidity value. The image analysis software has the ability to filter out any air bubbles from the analysis, meaning only a true color / turbidity measurement is performed on the fluid.
