Smart safety control system

Engineered by Marble Control Systems

About

An independent safety control system developed to safeguard your production infrastructure by managing hydraulic operated valves. Onshore or offshore, on-site or remotely the CAMEL is designed to protect oil and gas production systems.

Benefits & features

Quick setup

Simple installation and commissioning.

SIL 2 designed (IEC 61508)

Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD) between 0.01 to 0.001.

USER-FRIENDLY HMI

Embedded in a 7” Touchscreen to setup and monitor the CAMEL.

Reduce downtime

Analyse the CAMEL’s log to detect anomalies and Schedule maintenances.

Money saving

Modular design to simplify maintenance, reduce on-site interventions and improve production uptime.

Instant communication

Monitor CAMEL's activity log thru instant notifications directly to your smartphone, tablet or PC.

Introducing Marble Monitor

Stay informed about your CAMEL system's behaviour remotely. Our new WEB application allows you to get PUSH notifications directly to your smart device or computer every time an event activates.

  • Reduce expenses by avoiding keeping your SDV's hydraulic pressure by maintenance personnel.
  • Capable to register historic of wellhead pressure, line pressure, as well as operating system events from every well (optional feature).
  • Information visibility remains even when operator is not in front of CAMEL's panel for money savings due to process and production losses.
  • Reduce cost of personnel and logistics thru remote visualization optimizing the number of operators necessary for an application.
  • Keep personnel informed of alarms 24/7, event if they are not physically on-site.
  • Allows decision making based on up-to-date information of every connected system.

Installation requirements

One or two electrical connections for the signals of the transducers of well pressure and line pressure.

Electrical supply connection.

A hydraulic connection to the actuator.

An electrical connection for the position indicator signal of the hydraulic valve.

Easy installation


CAMEL can be anchored to the ground* providing control over the valve regardless of the operator’s location.

*Skid required and sold separately upon client’s request.

Manual operation meets automation

1 Automatic pressure stabilization

The CAMEL automatically balances the hydraulic system in order to mantain a stable pressure inside the actuator’s chamber reducing the operator’s intervention and eliminating progressive closures frequently present in conventional mechanical-hydraulic control systems.

2 Self operated

Using an electro-hydraulic pump the CAMEL ensures enough flow and pressure is available to the hydraulic actuator keeping the valve open.

If closing is required, a solenoid valve commands the electro-hydraulic pump causing the actuator’s pressure to fall.

3 Always on

The CAMEL is capable to operate in remote locations where external power sources are not available providing a reliable fail-safe shutdown system when pressure falls outside of the preset ranges.

After a fail-safe operation occurred the CAMEL keeps the shutdown valve closed until the operator reopens it manually.

4 Up-to-date data

Monitor, log and store events and alarms exactly when they happen.

SCADA Integration available.

Analyze stored data thru proprietary Software application.

5 Instant communication

Remote communication thru PUSH notifications to mobile device, tablet or computer.

Flexible and user-friendly system for 24/7 notifications.

Take decisions based on up-to-date information for every system connected.

6 Autonomy

CAMEL can be 100% autonomous thru solar panel installation.
