KUOPIO, Finland – Rocsole claims to be the first Finnish company awarded OTC’s Spotlight on New Technology Award.
The company received the recognition for its patented Liquid In-Tank Inspection (LITI) development.
Previously, the offshore market had not applied tomographic imaging to any great extent for scanning vessels for water, oil, emulsion, or gas layers.
Rocsole says with the LTI, it is possible to provide full profiles of vessels with no radiation, which brings advantages in terms of safety and the environment.
The system is also said to deliver reliable data on tanks and separators even in harsh or challenging conditions, assisting production optimization.
“The LITI Tank Profiler works just as well as any nucleonic devices, but without the typical cost and risks associated with the use of nucleonic devices,” said Rocsole’s Arto Voutilainen.
“In addition, we provide continuous real-time data meaning that we can provide AI-powered predictive analytics for these sub-processes with our capabilities.”
Main features of the technology are said to include:
- Accurate detection of location, thickness, and conductivity of different layers
- Operable with gases, liquids, emulsions, sludge, and solids
- Continuous data, real-time monitoring
- Works even with contaminated sensor surfaces
- Easy to install, safe to operate, with no moving parts and field calibration-free
- Images and trends available through a web-based user interface.
The services are typically offered as a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) model.
