PORTABLE INFLOWTM

Combining the latest in Ethernet technology with Canty fused glass, lighting and CANTYVISIONCLIENT™ software, the INFLOW™ Process Particle Analyzer provides real time particle size and shape analysis. The Portable Multiphase Meter models measure 0.7 micron - 20,000 micron particles under process conditions. By continuously measuring the product OIL, WATER, SAND, and GAS the OiW / WiO is continually analyzed. This allows the user to see the impact of any change to the refining or drilling system. By using a vision based system CANTY can easily detect all phases and separate them to give PPM/PPB distribution as well as SIZE distribution of all particulates.

No sampling or lab analysis is required! The Canty INFLOW™ has been engineered to offer the user a means to measure OiW/WiO monitoring online and real time. The INFLOW™ offers continuous, microscopic, non-destructive viewing and provides particle size analysis with two dimensional results. NO BUILDUP on product lens due to superior fused glass design. Superior lighting allows crude oil to become easy to monitor. CANTYVISIONCLIENT™ software is installed on a user-supplied PC, and connected to the INFLOW™ measurement system via Gigabit Ethernet network. Live images of the process can be viewed from any networked PC. The live images are remotely analyzed by CANTYVISIONCLIENT™ software.

The camera and light are into the process stream and away from the wall which, is made possible by the Fuseview™ sight glass, which allows the optical fused pieces to be located in the center of the fluid stream, which is unique to the Canty system. The fused glass seal contains no gaskets, ledges, or steps allowing the highest velocity, representative sample and keeps the sensor clean, even in the harshest of environments (polymer, crude oil, drilling mud, epoxy, etc.). The fused glass seal location keeps the sensor in line with the process temperature to avoid the product build up due to thermal change. The image processor can be configured with multiple zone sensing on the image of the fluid. The results from the zones can be compared to base line values for reliability and alarm on detection of a problem. A fixed Inflow unit is also available for hook up to process lines.

Canty was incorporated in the state of New York January 1, 1977. They have continued to expand their company into different markets and products. Currently, they manufacture lighting, cameras, sight flow indicators, quick opening closures, glass to metal seals, vision-based process control, and particles sizing systems.

Canty's Go Green Projects/Energy Saving projects :

Oil in Water monitoring for the oil industry to make sure their discharges are within drinking water limits and giving them the particle size knowledge to maintain and improve the process to achieve this goal. In-Flow - Oil in Water Monitor

High temperature cameras to optimize processing of glass…reduce waste (energy dramatically ) by reducing the scrap from 10% to 2% on float glass (window glass) 7% overall energy savings for the plant. Molten level control of glass to .001 accuracy assuring the minimum specification is met. This created a reduction in overage of the thickness of glass reducing energy and material usage by 2-3 % for the entire plant. High temperature Cameras for flame monitoring to detect smoking or off burring flames in furnaces, kilns and incinerators.
