Cila 2S

CILA 2S

The last drive you will ever need. The CILA2S is the latest in technology for integrated intelligent controllers in the artificial lift market today. This advanced technology includes unique features and advantages to provide cost-effective production optimization of PCP, Rod Pump, and ESP systems through intelligent self-automation and remote monitoring/control capabilities.

The CILA2S is compatible with all motor types (IM and PMM), motor brands, pumps, and sensors. We have proven compatibility with all induction motors and over 10 different PMM motors to date. Our PMM Flux Oriented Control is the only patented firmware that has proven to maintain a power factor of 1 completely independent of load.

Power Sags Ride-Thru The CILA 2S system maintains operational continuity on a power loss failure (to 0 volt) up to 1500+ milliseconds at full load.
Intelligent Well Optimization Control The IWOC follows a series of algorithms, rules and mathematical models of each Artificial Lift method that allows automation or an optimizer to make decisions on how to operate and control its oil production wells through the Artificial Lift system installed and identify actions to make real time optimization changes. Considering reservoir parameters, real-time behavior of the motor/pump, and surface conditions the system generates:
  • Speed increment recommendations based on the downhole pressure behavior to increase production and protect the assets.
  • Generates Inflow Performance Relationship chart (IPR) and / or Nodal Analysis, with the trajectory of behavior, showing the last three conditions of nodal.
  • Executes production optimization through automated system monitoring or remote control (SCADA) through the integration and communication capabilities depending on the level of automation available.
Protection of Operating Data The CILA2S has pre-built protection algorithms according to the data of the process, pressures, temperatures, etc. The operating philosophy of all protection cutoffs is:
  • High High (HH) causes Stop.
  • High (H) causes Alarm.
  • Low (L) causes Alarm.
  • Low Low (LL) causes Stop.
Sensorless Fluid Level Estimation Each artificial lift method (SRP, ESP, and PCP) has their own algorithm for estimating the dynamic fluid level and submergence of the pump.
Low Harmonics 6 Pulse drive (others available) most commonly utilized. With harmonics filters, THD meets IEEE requirements down to 30% of the load

Low Voltage and Medium Voltage The CILA2S is capable of Low Voltage and Medium Voltage applications maintaining unmatched performance and the same availability of functions.

Permanent Magnet Motor Capabilities

We have the only proven controller solution with closed-loop-Flux Oriented Control (F.O.C.) for permanent magnet motor artificial lift systems (Downhole Driven Permanent Magnet Motor PCP's and PMM-ESP's)

Flux O.C. Advantages (vs Vector Control):
    + Ideal sinusoidal motor current eliminates current interruption and therefore lots of harmonics. This ensures optimal motor efficiency ALWAYS.
    + Utilize motor reluctance torque properly (increases the motor torque capability).
    + No limit for cable length.
    + Enhance motor starting process.
    + Increase accuracy of speed estimation
    + Better control of transformer inrush current and saturation
    + Better dynamic performance due to vector control

CILA2S PMM Versatility
    The CiLA2S is currently controlling 3 different brands of PMM's in the field with unmatched control with more already proven in the lab. This includes both surface and internal mounted PM motors. The CILA2S is able to control different brand motors for ESP-PMM's, ESPCP-PMM's, and Surface PCP-PMM's.

CILA2S PMM Field Results
    With the patented Flux Oriented Control, the power factor is always 1 regardless of the load. For wells with oversized motors, noticeable gas or light oil production, or operating at lower speeds as shown below, the efficiency still remains extremely close to 1.

PMM Motor, Pump, Drive, and Sensor Testing
    At our Houston manufacturing and testing headquarters, we are able to test any ESP or surface/downhole PCP motor (IM/PMM), pump, drive, or sensor for compatibility, software development, and efficiency evaluation. We are able to simulate various loads and electrical sags to validate performance.
