Canal works in a range of industries to provide advanced technology solutions
• Canal Advanced filtration, separation, and contaminate reduction solutions
Canal delivers advanced filtration and separation solutions for a wide range of industries. The Poseidon fluid/solids separation system represents a breakthrough technology in the separation of sub-micron impurities and particles from liquid streams.
Our patented Canal Poseidon and Reactor technology provides the only continuously operating, self-cleaning filtration and separation system in the world.
By eliminating fiber and cartridge type filters, biological and chemical additives, and mechanical backwashing, unnecessary down time and disposal costs are significantly reduced.
Unlike existing filtration and separation systems, Canal designs each system to account for the variances in physical properties of the targeted liquid, including viscosity, consistency, size, quantity and specific gravity of the contaminates.
The Poseidon filter has been successfully tested in numerous applications for a multitude of contaminates in varying amounts. Because the nature and amount of contaminates varies depending upon location and use, the Poseidon system is designed to be easily adaptable to multistage operations. The system can be scaled up to any size application.
Canal as well has access to other technologies that remove additional heavy metals, solids and other unwanted materials from crude oil or water streams.
Benefits of the Canal Systems
• No chemicals
• No filter cartridges
• No contaminated filter media
• Continuous self-cleaning
• manual cleaning
• Variable flow rates
• Uninterrupted flow
• Real-time data monitoring
• Low power requirements per volume flow
• Minimal maintenance requirements
• Small footprint and compact size
• Ultra-filtration capabilities as low as 1 micron
Self-Cleaning Process
There are many filtration and separation systems that are marketed as self-cleaning. However, these self-cleaning systems typically require the filter devices to be bypassed and back-flushed in a cleaning cycle.
What differentiates the Canal Poseidon system from other technology is the ability to maintain a continuous filtration and separation flow without manual intervention by the operator. Other self-cleaning systems typically do not adequately control the discharge or outlet of contaminates. The results achieved by these systems do not approach the filtration and separation levels achieved using the Poseidon system.
Current filtration systems and processes rely on disposable filter elements such as filter bags, cartridges and spiral wound elements. These approaches require consumable items, additional labor and the associated costs.
When hazardous materials are filtered, the handling and disposal cost of bulky filter elements and the high quantity of sludge generated creates substantial long term legal liability issues. These costs are eliminated with the Poseidon system because the filter element is maintained in a continuously clean state and does not require replacement due to clogging or foreign substances.
Nominal vs. Absolute Filtration
Conventional filter media has pore sizes far larger than the advertised nominal filtration rating. The nominal filtration rating is achieved only after the larger pores are filled up and blocked by contaminates - a caking effect. Though this does reduce the average pore size required to achieve a nominal rating, the caking dramatically reduces the effective filter surface area and filter flow rate.

Though this does reduce the average pore size required to achieve a nominal rating, the caking dramatically reduces the effective filter surface area and filter flow rate.
In contrast, upon starting the Poseidon filter, the rated pore size is instantly achieved because the filter-media does not have pores larger than the rated micron level. When in use, the system's unique backwashing component maintains nearly one hundred percent of the filter surface. This insures the rated flow and Filtration levels will be maintained throughout the process without clogging, loss of efficiency, or forcing downstream processes to compensate for a declining outlet pressure or flow rate

Oil / Water contamination reduction or elimination
The process can be used to treat the entire stream or individual aspects of the stream.
Processing rates of crude oil and refined product will vary upon the type of stream.
Crude Oil Desulphurization Process
1. Crude oil is pumped from the supply pipe into the SRD and then directed into the Mix Tank in the center of the installed system. The SRD is proprietary technology.
2. Depending on the application and fluid being treated Clean water from the water tank is pumped through the WID where it is ionized and then directed into the Mix Tank. The volume of oil, as with the water, is controlled depending on the grade of contamination.
3. The oil/water mixture is then pumped through the magnetron into the Oil/Water Segment of the system. Particulate matter, heavy metals and transformed sulfur will be reduced by more than 70% - this material is sent to the Reject Tank where it settles and will be removed periodically depending on the concentration of the contaminates.
4. The oil that has passed through the filter media is directed into the Separation Tank where the water quickly settles out. In the final step, the clean oil is pumped to the Sales Tank.
